The Glenn Beck Program - 1⧸3⧸18 - WAR!

00:00:00.000 The Blaze Radio Network, on demand.

00:00:08.500 Love. Courage. Truth.

00:00:13.180 Glenn Beck.

00:00:13.960 Pat Gray and Jeffy for Glenn this week.

00:00:16.300 888-727-BECK.

00:00:19.160 President of the United States, causing controversy again with his tweeting habits.

00:00:24.340 If he just didn't tweet, I, right now, what would you have to complain about with Donald Trump?

00:00:32.400 I don't think there'd be anything.

00:00:34.080 Would there be news?

00:00:35.120 There wouldn't.

00:00:36.540 Yeah, there would not be a news cycle.

00:00:38.400 It would stop.

00:00:39.160 He sets the tone with that, right?

00:00:41.100 Yes.

00:00:42.140 Yes.

00:00:42.740 What he tweets is generally going to be that day's or the next day's headlines all over America and maybe the world.

00:00:53.120 He tweeted exactly what we said on the air yesterday morning on this broadcast.

00:01:00.040 100%.

00:01:00.520 When Kim Jong-un tweeted about, oh, I've got the button on my desk.

00:01:05.540 Yeah, okay.

00:01:06.440 You understand that the United States has a button, that Donald Trump's got a button, and it will fire off a lot more firepower than you're capable of.

00:01:17.360 It'd destroy your stupid little country a thousand times over.

00:01:20.620 Yes.

00:01:20.980 Well, it's essentially exactly what he tweeted.

00:01:23.920 I don't know if he was listening at the time and thought, yeah, that's a good point.

00:01:27.400 I'm going to tweet that out.

00:01:29.040 I believe he absolutely is.

00:01:29.860 The difference is, I'm a talk show host.

00:01:32.900 He's president of the United States.

00:01:35.700 Yeah, so, you know, there are things talk show hosts say that maybe the president shouldn't.

00:01:42.220 I mean, it's possible.

00:01:45.380 The other thing is...

00:01:46.680 If you tweet something, does it make it so?

00:01:50.840 No, not necessarily.

00:01:52.680 But the news cycle takes it that way.

00:01:57.100 It sure does.

00:01:58.200 The mainstream media takes it that way.

00:02:00.260 And you know darn well.

00:02:02.800 He was in Florida.

00:02:04.040 He was listening to...

00:02:05.360 We're on down in Florida.

00:02:06.880 The Glenn Beck program.

00:02:07.420 Absolutely.

00:02:08.520 No question.

00:02:09.380 You thought, hey, that's a good point, Pat.

00:02:10.780 I'm going to tweet that out right now.

00:02:12.640 And his little thumb started in motion.

00:02:18.300 And then waited a few...

00:02:20.260 Okay, so he waited, you know...

00:02:22.760 Yeah, what time did that tweet happen?

00:02:23.960 13 hours ago.

00:02:25.340 So he waited 10 hours.

00:02:29.300 I mean, you might have listened to the podcast.

00:02:31.420 It's possible, yeah.

00:02:33.540 Or a rebroadcast somewhere.

00:02:35.120 Or maybe we weren't live in the city.

00:02:37.020 Oh, that's right.

00:02:37.800 In the city in which he...

00:02:38.940 It's possible, yeah.

00:02:40.480 He was residing in Florida.

00:02:42.380 That's also possible.

00:02:43.780 It's very possible.

00:02:45.160 You know, I'm torn on the tweet itself.

00:02:48.160 I'm torn on whether or not that's...

00:02:49.780 Because he's taken kind of a hard line on his...

00:02:53.040 More than kind of.

00:02:53.940 He's taken a very hard line.

00:02:55.020 Yes, he has.

00:02:55.820 On his rhetoric with North Korea.

00:02:57.640 And seemingly, something's working.

00:03:00.820 Because Kim Jong-un has definitely softened his rhetoric and his stance.

00:03:06.820 Especially towards South Korea.

00:03:09.440 I mean, now they're reopening that hotline between North and South.

00:03:15.060 Yeah.

00:03:15.640 They're reestablishing that today.

00:03:17.400 And they tested it earlier.

00:03:19.700 So it works.

00:03:20.660 The phone line is open and it works, Pat.

00:03:22.640 And that was something that was discontinued a while ago.

00:03:26.840 And it didn't look like there was any possibility of getting that back.

00:03:30.360 And now it is.

00:03:31.720 He also made overtures to the South Korean winner games.

00:03:38.880 The Olympics that are coming up.

00:03:40.280 What?

00:03:40.720 They start next month, I think, in February.

00:03:42.840 And essentially guaranteed their safety.

00:03:47.620 He said, you know, we wish them peace and believe they'll go off without a hitch.

00:03:53.000 And everybody's been concerned about whether or not he would do some sort of strike and imperil the athletes of the world.

00:03:59.080 And he seemed to kind of reassure people that that's not in the cards.

00:04:04.280 I don't know.

00:04:05.080 It may be a good thing that Trump has taken such a hard line with this guy.

00:04:10.920 That's what these dictators understand.

00:04:14.660 We've said it for many years about a lot of the dictators around the world that they, you know, us coming in being nice, nice only makes us look weak in their eyes.

00:04:24.820 So, you know, I hope that that is true.

00:04:28.420 I do, too.

00:04:29.340 I do, too.

00:04:29.880 But for the part of the media, they go out of their mind when Trump does this kind of stuff.

00:04:40.220 Colby Hall tweeted out, in hindsight, we should have all predicted the big and powerful button position from this administration.

00:04:46.120 Well, yeah, so.

00:04:48.440 Is it?

00:04:49.140 And then Kumail Nanjiani tweets out,

00:04:53.560 Is it right next to the Diet Coke button?

00:04:56.380 Please be careful.

00:04:58.480 I mean, that's just stupid.

00:05:02.300 That's just ridiculous.

00:05:04.600 That's social media right there.

00:05:06.280 From Bishop Talbert Swan,

00:05:08.420 Trump is a reprehensible failure as a POTUS.

00:05:11.680 This fool just written nuclear war over Twitter.

00:05:15.000 His cabinet members should invoke the 25th Amendment.

00:05:19.060 Okay.

00:05:19.880 Let's calm down.

00:05:21.240 Let's calm down a little bit.

00:05:22.480 From Hunter Schwartz,

00:05:25.040 Teddy Roosevelt speaks softly and carry a big stick.

00:05:27.680 Donald Trump, tweet loudly and boast about the size of your nuclear button.

00:05:31.780 Okay.

00:05:32.900 And that's what he's doing.

00:05:33.920 So, yeah, you don't have to tell him that.

00:05:36.120 And by the way,

00:05:37.100 you know,

00:05:37.720 it's been pretty clear.

00:05:39.480 It's worked so far.

00:05:40.940 It honestly,

00:05:41.380 it's hard to argue.

00:05:43.220 I know.

00:05:44.080 That it hasn't worked.

00:05:45.180 I know.

00:05:46.280 Because the situation with North Korea is,

00:05:49.020 to me,

00:05:49.980 a lot better.

00:05:50.580 I mean,

00:05:50.800 it felt like we were on the brink for a while.

00:05:53.920 But now,

00:05:54.880 it doesn't feel that way at all.

00:05:56.720 And with,

00:05:57.260 you know,

00:05:57.840 Donald,

00:05:58.320 first of all,

00:05:58.740 President Trump is not one that we've learned to be able to take a,

00:06:03.800 a perceived slam and not say anything back.

00:06:07.500 So,

00:06:08.100 when Kim Jong-un,

00:06:09.660 you know,

00:06:10.900 said,

00:06:12.080 hey,

00:06:12.700 if you,

00:06:13.780 uh,

00:06:14.240 attack us first,

00:06:15.500 uh,

00:06:16.520 we've got a nuke ready to go to,

00:06:18.320 and I've got the button right on my desk.

00:06:19.700 That was his way of saying,

00:06:20.840 we're not going to attack first.

00:06:22.480 But he was able,

00:06:23.560 but he was able to,

00:06:24.640 you know,

00:06:25.120 save face for his people and say that,

00:06:28.740 hey,

00:06:28.800 we're big and bad too.

00:06:30.080 And we can,

00:06:30.600 we'll fight back.

00:06:31.520 Nobody's going to attack us.

00:06:32.640 Don't you worry about it.

00:06:33.660 But it was also said,

00:06:35.160 hey,

00:06:35.320 we're not going to attack.

00:06:36.720 Right.

00:06:37.340 Right.

00:06:37.840 And so,

00:06:39.020 but to Trump,

00:06:40.360 that's a perceived,

00:06:41.420 um,

00:06:41.980 you know,

00:06:42.180 my button is on my desk and,

00:06:44.200 uh,

00:06:44.440 we can still attack the United States.

00:06:45.960 He takes that as,

00:06:47.400 well,

00:06:47.660 so what?

00:06:49.540 You know,

00:06:50.040 that's right.

00:06:51.540 You're not going to attack us.

00:06:52.980 Yeah.

00:06:53.180 I mean,

00:06:53.380 that's just Donald Trump.

00:06:54.580 Yeah,

00:06:54.800 it is.

00:06:55.720 It is.

00:06:56.160 And it's just,

00:06:56.900 you know,

00:06:57.280 uh,

00:06:57.780 it's his style.

00:06:58.620 Yeah.

00:06:59.140 And when,

00:06:59.540 and everybody knew it when,

00:07:01.920 when they voted for him,

00:07:02.780 absolutely.

00:07:03.400 Everybody knew it.

00:07:03.980 A hundred percent.

00:07:04.440 So he's actually doing what people put him in office to do.

00:07:07.220 Yes,

00:07:07.400 he is.

00:07:08.700 It just,

00:07:09.260 it's a little reminiscent.

00:07:10.120 I kept thinking all day,

00:07:11.480 uh,

00:07:11.960 after the tweet of the,

00:07:13.540 do you remember the kennel ration commercial?

00:07:15.880 My dog's bigger than your dog.

00:07:17.760 My dog's bigger than yours.

00:07:19.720 My dog's bigger than yours.

00:07:21.540 My dog's bigger than your dog.

00:07:22.520 Remember this?

00:07:23.340 My dog's better than yours.

00:07:25.460 My dog's shiny because he gets kennel ration.

00:07:28.580 My dog's better than yours.

00:07:30.780 Yeah.

00:07:31.200 Uh,

00:07:31.600 that's great.

00:07:32.240 It's,

00:07:32.680 it's just my,

00:07:33.700 my button's bigger than your button.

00:07:35.600 Not because it eats kennel ration,

00:07:37.560 but yeah,

00:07:38.420 because,

00:07:38.880 uh,

00:07:39.340 we're the United States of America and you're not.

00:07:41.580 So,

00:07:42.400 uh,

00:07:42.840 I don't know.

00:07:43.500 It's just,

00:07:43.980 it's fascinating because,

00:07:45.900 uh,

00:07:46.740 this was one of the things that we weren't excited about with the possibility of Trump.

00:07:51.060 And yet it's one of the things that is sort of working.

00:07:55.840 Yes,

00:07:56.240 it is.

00:07:57.020 Foreign policy wise.

00:07:58.380 It seems.

00:07:59.640 Yeah,

00:08:00.080 for now.

00:08:00.600 I mean,

00:08:00.900 absolutely.

00:08:01.700 There's,

00:08:02.020 there's steps that could be taken,

00:08:03.620 you know,

00:08:03.860 in the future that will help in that.

00:08:06.020 I'm sure that there are,

00:08:06.960 and that's what we have a state department for,

00:08:08.340 right?

00:08:08.640 Yes.

00:08:09.180 That's what,

00:08:09.640 that's what Tillerson is there for.

00:08:11.360 So,

00:08:11.980 you know,

00:08:12.400 let him,

00:08:13.280 let Rex do his job.

00:08:14.700 But as far as,

00:08:15.860 uh,

00:08:16.780 you know,

00:08:17.060 the talk of,

00:08:17.920 of Trump hampering that,

00:08:19.700 I don't think so.

00:08:20.500 I think this just,

00:08:21.500 this just helps us be able to walk in and say,

00:08:24.960 you know,

00:08:25.920 we got a big stick too,

00:08:26.840 pal.

00:08:27.200 Yeah.

00:08:27.620 Come on.

00:08:28.100 Yeah.

00:08:28.860 Uh,

00:08:29.420 and it's hard to believe that he didn't realize that or he,

00:08:33.540 because based on the things that he says and does,

00:08:37.100 it seems he doesn't understand that.

00:08:39.420 It does.

00:08:40.360 And so Trump just reminds him.

00:08:42.620 Yeah,

00:08:43.000 it does.

00:08:43.760 And I,

00:08:43.980 I think that comes with him being,

00:08:46.420 uh,

00:08:46.820 while he's,

00:08:47.680 uh,

00:08:48.640 uh,

00:08:48.940 you know,

00:08:49.180 the leader of this country,

00:08:50.420 he's pretty sheltered and he's pretty,

00:08:52.320 uh,

00:08:52.700 you know,

00:08:53.400 being that dictator,

00:08:55.080 not a lot of people tell him no.

00:08:57.320 Yeah.

00:08:57.680 And he's got to put on a show for his people.

00:08:59.420 Yes.

00:09:00.140 Uh,

00:09:00.500 it's,

00:09:01.880 uh,

00:09:02.680 it's difficult to live up to deity and that's what they presented themselves as.

00:09:06.420 You are telling me,

00:09:07.460 Pat.

00:09:08.500 Yeah.

00:09:09.380 Yeah.

00:09:10.720 I also like,

00:09:12.500 you know,

00:09:12.880 I mean,

00:09:13.140 there's been,

00:09:13.820 he has done some great foreign policy maneuvers,

00:09:17.800 obviously acknowledging Jerusalem as the capital of Israel was one.

00:09:22.840 This,

00:09:23.440 uh,

00:09:24.580 denial of $285 million to the UN is another.

00:09:28.320 It's a good start.

00:09:28.980 Uh,

00:09:29.580 threatening to cut off aid to the Palestine,

00:09:32.200 Palestinians,

00:09:33.240 I think is brilliant.

00:09:34.420 Absolutely.

00:09:35.020 At about time.

00:09:36.420 Uh,

00:09:37.160 he acknowledged his push to broker peace in,

00:09:40.920 in the middle East.

00:09:42.440 Um,

00:09:43.140 it stalled a little bit,

00:09:44.360 maybe because yesterday he appeared to threaten to cut off USAID money to the

00:09:49.880 Palestinian authority,

00:09:50.860 asking why the U S should make quote,

00:09:53.520 any of these massive future payments,

00:09:55.380 unquote,

00:09:56.160 and the Pakistan too,

00:09:57.020 right?

00:09:57.180 When the Palestinians are no longer willing to talk peace.

00:09:59.740 Yeah.

00:10:00.020 And Pakistan as well.

00:10:01.580 And Pakistan because they're harboring terrorists.

00:10:04.100 And we've known that the whole time.

00:10:05.740 Sure.

00:10:05.980 And we continue to just funnel hundreds of millions,

00:10:08.740 billions of dollars to Pakistan and to the Palestinians.

00:10:13.380 And I,

00:10:14.200 I think this is the right way to go.

00:10:16.180 And a pair of tweets,

00:10:16.820 he said,

00:10:17.760 the U S pays the Palestinians hundreds of millions of dollars a year,

00:10:21.160 and they get no appreciation or respect.

00:10:23.540 It's exactly right.

00:10:25.720 And I think there's a lot of Americans who've been frustrated about that for a long time.

00:10:31.500 Again,

00:10:32.600 another of the things that got Trump,

00:10:35.040 Donald Trump elected president in the first place.

00:10:37.420 So don't be mad that he's doing what you wanted to,

00:10:39.840 what you were at least that's why he got elected.

00:10:42.140 What those people who elected him wanted him to do.

00:10:45.000 And that's exactly what he's doing.

00:10:47.000 I mean,

00:10:47.340 there's an argument to be made that,

00:10:48.940 um,

00:10:50.180 pulling the plug on some of that cash to those terrorist entities would,

00:10:55.460 I was going to bring more terrorism,

00:10:57.240 but I would argue against that.

00:11:00.440 I certainly hasn't stopped it anyway.

00:11:02.160 Correct.

00:11:03.140 It hasn't said,

00:11:03.980 Hey,

00:11:04.060 be nice.

00:11:04.600 So without the money,

00:11:05.740 go find the money somewhere else.

00:11:07.040 Right.

00:11:07.740 Good luck.

00:11:08.580 And you know,

00:11:09.020 foreign policy by,

00:11:09.940 by tweet is probably not the way to go either.

00:11:12.400 Well,

00:11:12.920 but again,

00:11:14.800 Oh,

00:11:15.060 we knew this was coming.

00:11:15.800 Yeah.

00:11:16.220 We knew this was his style.

00:11:17.220 It certainly is in today's world.

00:11:18.400 Yeah.

00:11:19.200 Uh,

00:11:19.740 triple eight,

00:11:20.640 seven,

00:11:20.940 two,

00:11:21.060 seven,

00:11:21.480 B E C K. 0.99

00:11:25.520 Glenn back.

00:11:34.320 Glenn back.

00:11:35.200 back.

00:11:36.800 Back.

00:11:37.000 Back.

00:11:37.020 Great.

00:11:37.160 And Jeffy for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

00:11:39.060 You can also tune in right after this show on the blaze radio and TV network for

00:11:43.680 pack.

00:11:43.900 Ray unleashed triple eight,

00:11:46.220 seven,

00:11:46.900 two,

00:11:47.000 seven.

00:11:47.360 Uh,

00:11:47.800 Beck,

00:11:48.040 we were speaking about the,

00:11:49.440 the decision,

00:11:50.100 um,

00:11:51.260 to potentially withhold funds from the Palestinians.

00:11:56.400 Uh,

00:11:56.920 because as president Trump said yesterday,

00:11:59.940 they're,

00:12:00.420 they're not involved.

00:12:01.180 they're not interested in peace anyway.

00:12:02.840 Why will we keep funneling funneling hundreds of millions of dollars to him every year?

00:12:06.880 It doesn't do any good.

00:12:09.380 Meanwhile,

00:12:10.100 in Jerusalem,

00:12:11.100 they just passed a new law.

00:12:12.480 The Knesset,

00:12:13.000 uh,

00:12:13.640 has just made it nearly impossible to ever allow a divided Jerusalem.

00:12:18.800 I don't,

00:12:19.160 I don't blame him one bit.

00:12:20.280 The article that,

00:12:21.200 that I,

00:12:22.100 I read on this was incredibly spun.

00:12:24.180 Spun very,

00:12:25.320 very negative,

00:12:25.940 uh,

00:12:27.060 towards Israel as if this ends all hope of peace.

00:12:30.360 Well,

00:12:30.920 if somebody was demanding,

00:12:33.880 let's say Canada was demanding that we divide Washington DC in,

00:12:40.000 in half and they get part of Washington DC and we keep the other part.

00:12:44.700 Would we,

00:12:45.520 would we treat that kindly?

00:12:47.200 Would we agree to that?

00:12:48.900 Okay.

00:12:49.420 That's what it's going to take for peace.

00:12:51.020 Oh,

00:12:51.780 okay.

00:12:52.480 If ISIS said,

00:12:53.760 look,

00:12:54.000 uh,

00:12:54.540 we,

00:12:54.820 we want,

00:12:55.480 uh,

00:12:55.840 we want half of Washington DC and you can keep the other half and,

00:12:59.600 and then we'll stop,

00:13:00.680 we'll stop bombing your malls and we'll,

00:13:02.280 we'll stop doing these suicide attacks.

00:13:05.260 We tell them to go pound sand.

00:13:06.980 That would never work.

00:13:08.540 Nobody would ever agree to such a thing.

00:13:10.500 Why do we expect it of Israel? 1.00

00:13:13.660 Lawmakers approved a bill in the early hours of,

00:13:16.220 uh,

00:13:16.500 yesterday that required a special two thirds majority vote in the Knesset to

00:13:21.200 relinquish any part of,

00:13:22.840 of Jerusalem to the Palestinians under any future peace accord.

00:13:26.900 So they've essentially,

00:13:28.520 because that's not two thirds of the Knesset is never going to agree to that,

00:13:31.920 which they shouldn't.

00:13:34.900 it's,

00:13:37.380 it's,

00:13:37.440 it's the capital of Israel.

00:13:39.560 It always has been,

00:13:41.500 it's never been Palestinian territory.

00:13:46.580 Palestinian is,

00:13:47.920 it's a made up name.

00:13:49.800 It's,

00:13:50.360 it's what the British called the area,

00:13:52.360 Palestine.

00:13:53.540 It's what the Romans called the area,

00:13:55.700 but there's no actual Palestine people.

00:13:59.860 Are you sure?

00:14:00.920 I'm sure.

00:14:01.800 I'm positive.

00:14:03.380 There never has been.

00:14:04.700 And there,

00:14:04.980 there just isn't,

00:14:05.700 it's a made up thing.

00:14:06.680 And we're supposed to,

00:14:07.980 we're supposed to bow down to it.

00:14:10.700 And,

00:14:11.300 and if,

00:14:11.720 if they,

00:14:12.360 if they would agree to at least recognize Israel as a state,

00:14:19.980 a sovereign nation,

00:14:21.020 but you've,

00:14:22.560 you've got the,

00:14:23.380 the,

00:14:24.160 the ruling class in the Palestinian territory and the Gaza strip,

00:14:28.300 not even willing to do that.

00:14:29.840 So how do you,

00:14:30.460 how do you even start on that situation?

00:14:32.860 It's,

00:14:33.380 it's an impossible situation.

00:14:34.940 Israel just has to look out for themselves. 1.00

00:14:37.460 888-727-BECK.

00:14:38.940 Bill in West Virginia,

00:14:40.280 you're on the Glenn Beck program.

00:14:41.460 Hi.

00:14:42.000 Hi.

00:14:42.340 Thanks for taking my call.

00:14:43.700 Hey,

00:14:44.240 I have this problem.

00:14:45.520 When I hear these commercials on the radio and TV and it,

00:14:48.280 where they're threatening the American young, 0.62

00:14:50.860 young guy in that,

00:14:51.920 that he has to comply with a selective service law or he'll lose,

00:14:56.080 lose any sort of rights to a,

00:14:57.740 a school loan or driver's license or,

00:15:01.160 you know,

00:15:01.360 they're,

00:15:01.740 they're saying,

00:15:02.380 well,

00:15:02.440 you're breaking the law.

00:15:03.760 Why don't we have commercials on the radio and TV telling these illegals that 1.00

00:15:08.580 they're breaking a law that they can't get this.

00:15:10.720 You will be sent out of the country.

00:15:12.180 And that they threaten the American people.

00:15:14.400 The same with the tax law.

00:15:15.700 They threaten the American people. 0.75

00:15:16.880 We can take away your house and the rest of the stuff,

00:15:18.960 but they let,

00:15:19.600 they don't say anything to these illegals.

00:15:21.780 No,

00:15:22.140 that would be insensitive,

00:15:23.100 Bill.

00:15:24.220 Right.

00:15:24.660 That would be insensitive.

00:15:25.680 Right.

00:15:26.220 Now,

00:15:26.420 for some reason,

00:15:27.220 and we can break up families too.

00:15:28.920 We can,

00:15:29.040 we can,

00:15:29.360 we can put Americans in jail, 0.99

00:15:31.220 but you can't separate illegal aliens,

00:15:33.240 families.

00:15:33.780 You can't put them in jail.

00:15:34.740 You can't deport them.

00:15:35.960 You can't let them decide.

00:15:37.140 Are you going to take your family with you or not?

00:15:38.600 You can't do any of that.

00:15:39.940 It's it.

00:15:40.620 We've gotten to such a ridiculous point that you're right.

00:15:44.040 It's fine to threaten American citizens, 0.95

00:15:46.120 but not those here illegally.

00:15:48.540 Strange situation.

00:15:49.640 It sure is.

00:15:50.380 Thanks for the call.

00:15:51.000 Appreciate it.

00:15:51.860 Uh,

00:15:52.100 Julie in Texas,

00:15:52.820 you're on the Glenn Beck program.

00:15:54.980 Hi.

00:15:55.760 Good morning.

00:15:56.420 You guys were talking earlier about Donald Trump and his tweets.

00:16:00.640 I really and truly think that what he's doing is bypassing the media modern day,

00:16:09.980 similarly to Reagan.

00:16:12.020 They just bypass the media and go straight to the people.

00:16:15.560 Uh,

00:16:16.100 yes,

00:16:16.820 it's exactly what he's doing.

00:16:18.400 Um,

00:16:18.940 and it seems to be pretty effective,

00:16:20.920 drives the media out of their mind,

00:16:22.520 but it's a pretty effective technique.

00:16:25.420 Thanks,

00:16:25.860 Julie.

00:16:26.080 And with the fact that the media hates him so intensely,

00:16:30.640 you know,

00:16:32.120 I mean,

00:16:32.820 there's something to be said for doing it.

00:16:35.880 Even though a lot of days,

00:16:37.660 I wish he wouldn't.

00:16:40.480 Yes,

00:16:40.980 there is.

00:16:41.740 And I mean,

00:16:42.360 he,

00:16:42.720 look,

00:16:43.460 he sets the tone and he sets the agenda every day.

00:16:47.300 And I mean,

00:16:47.820 it's who's,

00:16:48.920 who's,

00:16:49.280 who's wagging the tail.

00:16:50.960 I don't know.

00:16:51.580 Yeah,

00:16:51.920 I know.

00:16:52.920 Uh,

00:16:53.280 Jim in Washington.

00:16:54.260 Welcome.

00:16:56.360 Oh,

00:16:56.820 hi,

00:16:57.080 Glenn.

00:16:57.360 How are you this morning?

00:16:58.160 Big fan doing,

00:16:59.240 doing good,

00:16:59.680 but it's not Glenn.

00:17:00.960 He's off this week,

00:17:02.080 but that's all right.

00:17:03.740 Oh,

00:17:04.160 Glenn's not in.

00:17:05.020 Oh,

00:17:05.240 that's my apologies.

00:17:06.480 Who am I speaking with?

00:17:07.460 This is Pat,

00:17:08.700 Pat Gray.

00:17:09.420 Oh,

00:17:09.740 as well as Jeffy.

00:17:11.160 Hi,

00:17:11.620 Jim.

00:17:11.680 Go ahead.

00:17:12.200 Hello.

00:17:12.420 I'm not Glenn either.

00:17:13.400 It's okay.

00:17:14.260 Oh,

00:17:14.520 I'm sorry,

00:17:15.100 guys.

00:17:15.340 You seem bummed out about it.

00:17:17.160 No,

00:17:17.440 we're fine with it actually,

00:17:18.680 but I,

00:17:19.180 I just wanted to break it to you gently.

00:17:21.820 Oh,

00:17:22.100 no problem.

00:17:22.780 Okay.

00:17:23.040 Well,

00:17:23.300 I was just impressed.

00:17:24.180 I wanted to say how impressed I was with,

00:17:26.060 with how Donald Trump,

00:17:27.440 the hardline stance that he's taken on North Korea.

00:17:30.060 A lot of these,

00:17:30.700 uh,

00:17:31.140 Democrats want to take a soft stance on it.

00:17:33.680 Do you know Adam Friedland out of New York?

00:17:36.100 No.

00:17:37.660 Oh,

00:17:38.000 he wants to take a soft stance on it.

00:17:39.860 Meanwhile,

00:17:40.260 he's a bug.

00:17:42.400 Meanwhile,

00:17:43.020 he's a bug.

00:17:45.420 Yeah.

00:17:46.120 Adam,

00:17:46.400 Adam Friedman is a bug.

00:17:49.040 Sorry.

00:17:49.560 What'd you say?

00:17:50.180 Adam Friedman is a bug.

00:17:52.520 No,

00:17:52.980 Adam Friedland is a bug.

00:17:55.360 Oh,

00:17:55.860 okay.

00:17:56.900 Uh,

00:17:57.340 I have no idea what you're talking about.

00:17:59.780 Uh,

00:18:00.220 but I appreciate the call.

00:18:01.260 Thanks,

00:18:01.580 Jim.

00:18:02.580 What?

00:18:04.800 Do I miss something?

00:18:06.840 Have I missed something?

00:18:07.660 I guess you did,

00:18:09.040 Pat.

00:18:09.340 I guess you did.

00:18:10.020 And you missed it as well.

00:18:11.160 Right by me.

00:18:12.980 I had no idea.

00:18:14.720 Adam Friedland is not a bug,

00:18:16.360 but he is a bug.

00:18:17.240 Okay.

00:18:17.960 Uh,

00:18:18.400 Morgan in Utah.

00:18:19.260 Welcome to the Gledbeck program.

00:18:20.940 Hi.

00:18:22.600 Thanks for taking my call,

00:18:23.960 Pat.

00:18:24.360 You bet.

00:18:25.840 Well,

00:18:26.260 I was just,

00:18:26.760 uh,

00:18:27.240 listening to you guys talking about Kim Jong-un,

00:18:30.480 talking about how he's got a button on,

00:18:32.520 on his desk,

00:18:33.500 how he's,

00:18:35.160 he won't attack first.

00:18:36.880 But I just was thinking to myself,

00:18:38.800 you know,

00:18:39.140 Kim,

00:18:39.420 if you really understood the history of the United States and how much we have gone to war,

00:18:46.760 we have never lost.

00:18:47.980 And if you think you've got the stones to come at us with that button,

00:18:52.860 you better be prepared because not only are we back-to-back World War champs,

00:18:58.660 but we are also winners of the Korean War,

00:19:02.500 the Vietnam War,

00:19:03.580 and,

00:19:03.600 and,

00:19:04.080 and first of all,

00:19:04.920 and we're still continuing on with,

00:19:07.500 with what's going on in the Middle East.

00:19:09.800 Appreciate it.

00:19:10.800 Thanks,

00:19:11.080 Morgan.

00:19:11.660 Uh,

00:19:12.460 that says it a little more eloquently than he did,

00:19:15.100 but,

00:19:15.500 uh,

00:19:16.360 yeah,

00:19:17.020 I think that's generally the point.

00:19:23.400 Glenn Beck.

00:19:34.440 You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.

00:19:36.300 Uh,

00:19:37.640 during the break there,

00:19:38.460 we were just kind of assessing our last colors statement that,

00:19:42.180 uh,

00:19:42.500 we are undefeated in war in the United States of America.

00:19:45.540 Now there are those who would maybe dispute that Vietnam,

00:19:49.380 for instance,

00:19:49.920 maybe even Korea,

00:19:50.700 but I,

00:19:51.700 I was just kind of,

00:19:52.720 uh,

00:19:53.360 uh,

00:19:53.780 taking stock on America at war and,

00:19:56.940 uh,

00:19:57.240 trying to figure out what our record actually is.

00:19:59.820 And maybe you just tweet that out to Kim Jong-un,

00:20:02.220 uh,

00:20:03.400 revolutionary war.

00:20:05.620 You got to figure definite win,

00:20:07.040 right?

00:20:07.440 War of 1812,

00:20:08.280 a win.

00:20:10.100 Uh,

00:20:10.620 then you've got the,

00:20:11.600 uh,

00:20:12.960 the Mexican American war,

00:20:14.360 big win.

00:20:16.580 Uh,

00:20:17.180 then you've got the Spanish American war.

00:20:19.160 I guess you could consider the war,

00:20:20.920 uh,

00:20:21.300 with the native Americans,

00:20:22.620 a victory.

00:20:24.340 Um,

00:20:25.780 let's see.

00:20:26.380 Then you got world war one, 0.85

00:20:27.980 world war two,

00:20:28.720 Korea,

00:20:30.080 I would say is definitely a win.

00:20:31.720 There are those who would say that was a tie.

00:20:33.760 I say it's a win because our goal there was not to,

00:20:37.840 uh,

00:20:38.360 take over North Korea was to keep them above the 38th parallel,

00:20:41.480 which we did,

00:20:42.000 which we did.

00:20:43.100 Uh,

00:20:43.500 now you could,

00:20:44.540 you could say Vietnam was next after Korea and,

00:20:48.680 and many people call that a loss.

00:20:50.340 I frankly don't because we didn't lose that.

00:20:52.800 We just left.

00:20:53.900 It's kind of a tie.

00:20:54.800 It's kind of.

00:20:55.600 So I'll give you,

00:20:56.320 that was a tie tie.

00:20:57.800 All right.

00:20:57.940 We did what we set out to do.

00:20:59.300 And that's to keep the South, 0.97

00:21:00.740 the South when we left.

00:21:02.440 Now that's your thing.

00:21:03.480 Okay.

00:21:04.160 And they lost it quickly.

00:21:06.180 So they lost.

00:21:07.400 We weren't there at the time.

00:21:08.480 Right.

00:21:09.240 I'm going to,

00:21:09.640 so I'm going to chalk that up to a tie.

00:21:11.900 Uh,

00:21:12.340 yeah.

00:21:12.860 Tie is the worst that you can give that.

00:21:15.220 Yes.

00:21:15.440 Yes.

00:21:15.720 I think so.

00:21:16.240 So then after,

00:21:18.020 uh,

00:21:18.940 Vietnam,

00:21:20.120 then you've got,

00:21:21.280 uh,

00:21:21.600 I guess the first Iraq war, 0.52

00:21:24.440 which was a victory.

00:21:25.860 I think you could consider the present Iraq war,

00:21:29.880 since we got rid of Saddam Hussein, 0.78

00:21:31.660 a victory.

00:21:32.280 It seems like it is.

00:21:33.400 Afghanistan.

00:21:34.280 We got rid of the Taliban victory. 0.78

00:21:37.880 Uh,

00:21:39.320 see,

00:21:39.620 Panama.

00:21:40.260 I don't know if you can call that a war,

00:21:41.580 but we kicked their ass. 0.99

00:21:42.860 It was a operation.

00:21:45.520 Urgent fury.

00:21:47.160 Uh,

00:21:47.720 at the Island of spice,

00:21:48.820 the invasion of Grenada.

00:21:49.720 Oh,

00:21:49.900 that's right.

00:21:50.200 That was what?

00:21:50.680 83,

00:21:51.220 84.

00:21:52.200 So I did four and four days of hell in 1983,

00:21:54.960 Pat.

00:21:55.240 I don't know.

00:21:55.960 I don't want to bring it up completely.

00:21:57.940 Okay.

00:21:58.340 Uh,

00:21:59.240 you know,

00:21:59.560 it was a tough time.

00:22:00.980 Okay.

00:22:01.180 Including the Island of spice and,

00:22:03.120 and the Panama butt kicking.

00:22:04.300 We gave them,

00:22:04.880 uh,

00:22:05.880 that is 13,

00:22:06.680 Oh,

00:22:06.800 and one,

00:22:07.340 13 and one.

00:22:10.000 13,

00:22:10.480 Oh,

00:22:10.620 and one.

00:22:10.840 How about that,

00:22:11.260 Kimmy?

00:22:11.640 Okay.

00:22:14.940 Wouldn't hurt to remind Kim.

00:22:16.800 No,

00:22:17.200 that.

00:22:17.660 No,

00:22:17.840 it would not.

00:22:18.740 So if for my money,

00:22:20.760 he's the,

00:22:21.460 our caller was,

00:22:22.120 was correct in that.

00:22:23.240 We've never lost.

00:22:25.600 Triple eight,

00:22:26.340 seven,

00:22:26.700 two,

00:22:26.820 seven.

00:22:26.960 I want Trump to tweet that about 10 hours from now after he listens to the podcast.

00:22:29.880 Let's see if he does.

00:22:30.460 President Trump.

00:22:30.940 He tweeted what we said yesterday.

00:22:32.300 Let's see if he tweets this too.

00:22:34.040 Let's just,

00:22:34.680 uh,

00:22:34.760 we gave you a little idea there,

00:22:35.840 president Trump.

00:22:36.460 And you know,

00:22:37.540 yeah,

00:22:38.080 make it yours.

00:22:39.140 If you want,

00:22:39.460 it's all yours.

00:22:40.860 Uh,

00:22:41.260 Mark in North Carolina,

00:22:42.400 you're on the Glenn Beck program.

00:22:43.740 Hi.

00:22:45.100 Uh,

00:22:45.600 Mr.

00:22:45.920 Beck in there this week.

00:22:47.200 I know that Mr.

00:22:47.940 Beck in there this week,

00:22:49.060 which are usually pretty much three B's.

00:22:51.940 Uh,

00:22:52.780 uh,

00:22:53.100 you know,

00:22:53.360 the,

00:22:53.660 the bottom line on this is,

00:22:55.280 is that Mr.

00:22:56.660 Beck's position has been that he does not,

00:22:58.980 uh,

00:22:59.740 support any kind of military conflict with North Korea.

00:23:02.900 Uh,

00:23:03.060 they've got multiple warheads.

00:23:05.260 Now,

00:23:05.840 what's the solution?

00:23:07.520 It seems to me that you guys are kind of as soft as the Democrats,

00:23:11.220 because when he has a hundred warheads,

00:23:13.680 what do we do?

00:23:14.780 Cause he's not going to stop until somebody stops.

00:23:17.420 So what is the solution?

00:23:19.680 If there's not a military one,

00:23:21.160 because he doesn't care if his people starve out,

00:23:23.680 he doesn't care about anything except his own preservation.

00:23:26.560 And he believes that proliferation of the nuclear weapons that he possesses is his way to do that.

00:23:33.300 So do we sit to him or do we just continue to do this jaw boning that doesn't work?

00:23:40.200 Cause he's plenty well fed.

00:23:41.720 You'd look at him.

00:23:42.400 He's fat as a pig.

00:23:43.920 Uh,

00:23:44.460 so,

00:23:45.020 uh,

00:23:45.300 you know,

00:23:45.680 what's the,

00:23:47.060 uh,

00:23:47.760 what's the solution other than a military option?

00:23:50.040 I know they've got artillery on the border.

00:23:51.900 That's real close to Seoul.

00:23:53.360 It would require a real surgical procedure.

00:23:56.560 To get the missiles and the artillery and to get him.

00:24:00.120 But what's the solution?

00:24:01.220 Because I keep hearing you and Mr.

00:24:03.620 Peck talk about,

00:24:04.940 oh,

00:24:05.700 a military option isn't an option.

00:24:07.800 Then what is the option?

00:24:09.300 Well,

00:24:09.480 I've,

00:24:09.720 I've never said it's not an option.

00:24:11.920 It's not the desired option for me.

00:24:13.840 I mean,

00:24:14.180 I would like to avoid that.

00:24:15.580 And so far we have,

00:24:16.540 we've done a pretty good job of avoiding that.

00:24:18.380 And I think Trump's hard line is helping keep him at bay.

00:24:22.400 Uh,

00:24:22.880 that's my personal viewpoint,

00:24:23.940 but are you advocating that we,

00:24:25.340 we do a military strike right now?

00:24:27.620 Is that,

00:24:28.140 is that your position?

00:24:29.560 I don't know what else the guy will understand.

00:24:33.500 I mean,

00:24:33.720 the thing is,

00:24:34.700 so you're,

00:24:35.140 are you talking about a preemptive strike then?

00:24:37.740 Well,

00:24:38.360 no,

00:24:38.540 he's already threatened nuclear war against the United States.

00:24:41.760 And he's also threatened nuclear war against our,

00:24:44.960 uh,

00:24:45.320 Asian allies and under,

00:24:46.860 under CTO.

00:24:48.160 Yeah.

00:24:48.420 An attack on them's an attack on us.

00:24:50.720 Right.

00:24:51.080 He's already thrown missiles into the sea of Japan.

00:24:53.800 Yeah.

00:24:54.040 I mean,

00:24:54.280 he's already a threat.

00:24:55.980 Now,

00:24:56.120 what are we going to do?

00:24:56.900 We're going to see a mushroom cloud in San Francisco or Tokyo or in Seoul,

00:25:01.720 Korea.

00:25:02.480 What is it going to take?

00:25:03.980 Because the guy has already said he's going to use it.

00:25:06.440 Hmm.

00:25:06.920 So you would do a preemptive nuclear strike on North Korea?

00:25:11.920 Not necessarily.

00:25:13.000 If they think the cruise missiles and the,

00:25:15.420 and the killer drones get rid of all the artillery in the,

00:25:19.160 in the,

00:25:19.680 uh,

00:25:19.980 right where the demilitarized zone is to keep them from destroying Seoul and,

00:25:24.400 you know,

00:25:24.760 how many ever 30 million people.

00:25:26.440 Yeah.

00:25:26.920 Uh,

00:25:27.240 you got to take those out.

00:25:28.540 You'd have to take out the silos.

00:25:30.240 They'd have to be able to identify that.

00:25:32.340 Uh,

00:25:32.760 but you know,

00:25:33.380 surely they would know if the silos open with the killer drones,

00:25:36.420 they have up that can smile on the thing 24 seven.

00:25:39.860 It's a much better thing.

00:25:41.440 If you've got 15 to wipe out,

00:25:43.240 that's a lot easier than a hundred.

00:25:45.360 Yeah.

00:25:45.920 I,

00:25:46.640 it's a dangerous,

00:25:47.840 it's a dangerous proposition.

00:25:49.660 Anyway,

00:25:49.960 you look at it,

00:25:50.740 taking military action could really escalate into a war,

00:25:55.820 uh,

00:25:56.780 with China.

00:25:58.960 Uh,

00:25:59.580 it,

00:25:59.960 it could escalate into world war.

00:26:02.620 Um,

00:26:03.160 I mean,

00:26:03.460 so whatever we do,

00:26:05.240 it could have really serious ramifications.

00:26:09.060 Uh,

00:26:09.460 I think you,

00:26:10.020 you,

00:26:10.340 you got to acknowledge that,

00:26:11.660 right?

00:26:12.140 Oh,

00:26:12.380 there,

00:26:12.600 there is no doubt about that,

00:26:14.140 but what's the Chinese response?

00:26:16.420 I mean,

00:26:16.660 the Chinese are smiling at us,

00:26:19.200 telling us that they're doing what they need to do with North Korea.

00:26:22.060 I know,

00:26:22.620 but it's one thing to,

00:26:24.240 to go across the river and,

00:26:26.460 uh,

00:26:26.660 attack us on a conventional military basis,

00:26:28.980 but I don't think the Chinese would, 1.00

00:26:31.080 uh,

00:26:31.280 enjoy this any more than us.

00:26:32.860 I know that that's true.

00:26:35.280 Yeah,

00:26:35.840 that's true.

00:26:36.440 I don't see them going to war on behalf of North Korea,

00:26:39.480 but,

00:26:40.480 uh,

00:26:40.780 the,

00:26:41.000 the problem that we have is,

00:26:42.720 is that we've been pussyfooting around with us,

00:26:45.600 with his father,

00:26:46.480 and now him,

00:26:47.040 his grandfather,

00:26:47.800 his father,

00:26:48.260 now him.

00:26:48.920 Yeah.

00:26:49.340 And he's only got stronger militarily weaker in every other aspect,

00:26:53.300 but,

00:26:54.520 uh,

00:26:54.820 there's gotta be something done to this guy or he's really going to become a

00:26:59.080 threat.

00:26:59.400 And if he could start hitting American cities,

00:27:01.880 cause he's working on the technology,

00:27:03.620 it's better now than later.

00:27:06.560 Yeah.

00:27:07.140 I,

00:27:07.600 you know,

00:27:07.980 I understand your point of view.

00:27:09.980 I think the point,

00:27:10.760 the point of view of most Americans is that we've got peace right now.

00:27:15.180 And is it a precarious piece?

00:27:16.960 Yes,

00:27:17.680 but it's still not war with North Korea and it's not war with China and it

00:27:22.340 hasn't developed into a nuclear situation.

00:27:24.860 So I think most people would probably advocate not taking military action at

00:27:30.580 this point.

00:27:31.220 And we're not,

00:27:32.380 we're not normally a,

00:27:33.560 a first strike,

00:27:34.780 a preemptive strike kind of country.

00:27:37.300 Well,

00:27:37.960 the,

00:27:38.120 the threat has already been there.

00:27:39.720 And you know,

00:27:40.120 when Neville Chamberlain called peace in our time,

00:27:42.580 they had peace at that time,

00:27:44.980 but didn't last for very long.

00:27:47.380 Yeah.

00:27:47.480 All you gotta do is look at what the guy is doing,

00:27:50.340 what he's building up to.

00:27:51.640 He believes his only preservation is the ability to destroy other countries and

00:27:58.000 his technologies get better.

00:27:59.780 And when he gets much better,

00:28:02.020 we've got a much bigger problem.

00:28:04.960 Yeah.

00:28:05.080 If Hitler had been stopped at Munich, 0.93

00:28:06.700 it would have been a lot better than just waiting on him to do what he did.

00:28:09.980 True.

00:28:10.800 Appreciate it.

00:28:11.500 Thanks,

00:28:11.720 Mark.

00:28:11.980 It's a difficult,

00:28:12.860 uh,

00:28:13.600 scenario.

00:28:14.300 And I don't think I've ever said there should never be military intervention in

00:28:19.740 North Korea.

00:28:20.200 I'm my point is at this time,

00:28:22.860 I don't think that's the best solution right now.

00:28:27.360 I'd rather avoid it if we can.

00:28:29.480 And so far Trump has,

00:28:31.240 we've avoided,

00:28:32.220 uh,

00:28:33.600 uh,

00:28:34.120 an active hot war with North Korea.

00:28:36.880 And amen to that.

00:28:38.300 Yeah.

00:28:38.600 Uh,

00:28:38.920 and plus I don't think,

00:28:40.560 you know,

00:28:40.840 when you say that,

00:28:41.660 you know,

00:28:41.960 look,

00:28:42.280 he's already a threat.

00:28:43.500 Yes.

00:28:43.940 But I don't think he's enough of a threat that we could sell that to the world of

00:28:48.860 us striking.

00:28:50.080 He's a blowhard.

00:28:51.040 Yeah.

00:28:51.680 And,

00:28:52.220 and he's,

00:28:53.060 he's an immature idiot. 0.97

00:28:54.780 And I,

00:28:55.620 I don't know that,

00:28:56.680 that the belief is that he would actually act right.

00:29:00.940 And I know that we,

00:29:02.180 you know,

00:29:02.300 obviously we,

00:29:02.980 we care very little about the UN and some of the other countries,

00:29:05.560 but we do have some allies that we do care about.

00:29:07.820 And with,

00:29:08.680 you know,

00:29:09.040 selling it to them as South Korea is one of those allies,

00:29:12.100 which is right there.

00:29:13.100 And if we hit them with a preemptive strike,

00:29:15.080 they're going to launch against.

00:29:16.700 And we've heard reports of how much,

00:29:19.080 uh,

00:29:19.700 damage North Korea could do to Seoul with what they have already in place.

00:29:24.820 And so to hit them and not knock out all of their capabilities of hurting

00:29:30.200 South Korea is a big problem, 1.00

00:29:32.500 a really big problem.

00:29:33.800 And then you could,

00:29:34.500 you could say,

00:29:35.160 well,

00:29:35.740 do we take the guy out?

00:29:36.720 Do we assassinate him?

00:29:37.820 You know,

00:29:38.460 that's risky business too,

00:29:39.560 because who replaces him?

00:29:41.080 And then there's got to be a retaliation after that.

00:29:44.620 Uh,

00:29:44.940 right.

00:29:45.280 Even if we're not the ones who killed Kim Jong-un,

00:29:48.000 if that were to happen,

00:29:49.020 they blame us.

00:29:50.580 Oh yeah.

00:29:51.200 I don't think it matters now.

00:29:52.460 Right.

00:29:52.840 Right.

00:29:53.140 Which is actually,

00:29:53.940 I mean,

00:29:54.440 kind of,

00:29:56.020 um,

00:29:56.960 if you're inside North Korea and thinking about taking over,

00:30:00.920 now would be the time.

00:30:01.920 I'm glad I'm not the one making a decision because it's an impossible

00:30:05.900 decision to make.

00:30:06.780 It sure is.

00:30:08.400 I mean,

00:30:08.600 there's so many ramifications to any action and that's why we've continued the

00:30:13.860 inaction for so long.

00:30:15.740 And now we've got,

00:30:16.560 we've gotten to this point where anything we do could just destroy the

00:30:22.380 precarious balance we have right now.

00:30:25.180 I mean,

00:30:25.460 taking any action will change the course of history.

00:30:29.760 And even,

00:30:30.280 and again,

00:30:31.000 you know,

00:30:31.340 doing nothing,

00:30:31.920 uh,

00:30:32.740 changes the course.

00:30:33.620 I mean,

00:30:33.800 it's,

00:30:34.080 it's amazing how difficult it is.

00:30:35.840 It's impossible to know what to do.

00:30:37.400 It honestly is.

00:30:38.840 I mean,

00:30:39.340 uh,

00:30:39.800 he was challenging us to,

00:30:41.420 are we saying we shouldn't do Millie?

00:30:43.280 I don't know.

00:30:44.080 I don't know what to do.

00:30:45.560 I,

00:30:45.860 I'm again,

00:30:46.340 I'm glad I don't make that ultimate decision.

00:30:48.560 Yeah.

00:30:48.780 And I mean,

00:30:49.140 I'm glad that,

00:30:49.740 you know,

00:30:49.900 look,

00:30:50.380 if,

00:30:50.900 if,

00:30:51.800 if you look at it,

00:30:52.960 like we think that Donald Trump looks at America,

00:30:55.640 I'm surprised that he hasn't blown him off the map already.

00:30:58.740 Right.

00:30:59.200 I mean,

00:30:59.540 seriously,

00:31:00.140 because fortunately he has more sense in that.

00:31:02.240 I understand that.

00:31:02.960 And right.

00:31:03.920 Good for him.

00:31:04.800 And I want him to have more sense than that.

00:31:06.500 Thank you.

00:31:06.880 That's why,

00:31:07.300 that's why he gets to be president,

00:31:09.060 but you can't just go in and wipe them out.

00:31:15.260 Right.

00:31:15.620 You can't.

00:31:16.180 Right.

00:31:16.480 I mean,

00:31:17.540 yeah.

00:31:17.800 For,

00:31:18.640 because thinking of what's happened so far is,

00:31:21.400 is that a threat?

00:31:22.160 Not really.

00:31:23.220 I mean,

00:31:23.540 it's a threat,

00:31:24.980 but it isn't.

00:31:26.000 He and his dad and his father before him there.

00:31:28.020 I mean,

00:31:28.260 the threats go back.

00:31:29.460 It's like decades.

00:31:30.400 Yeah.

00:31:30.720 I mean,

00:31:31.000 it's,

00:31:31.340 you know,

00:31:32.040 it's the guy down the street.

00:31:33.460 If he keeps that up,

00:31:34.360 I'm going to call the cops.

00:31:35.940 It goes back in the house.

00:31:37.040 The other element is I'm not even sure they have the capability he claims to have.

00:31:41.980 I don't know that missiles can reach mainland America.

00:31:45.140 I don't,

00:31:45.740 I don't know.

00:31:46.280 Yeah.

00:31:46.560 I mean,

00:31:47.160 North Korea is backward. 0.99

00:31:50.700 Technologically speaking,

00:31:51.540 has China provided them with what they need in order to reach the U S mainland?

00:31:56.180 I don't know.

00:31:56.920 Maybe,

00:31:57.280 but I know everybody's claiming that they do,

00:31:59.600 but I'm not totally convinced.

00:32:01.220 It seems like it would be an awful,

00:32:02.600 huge leap.

00:32:03.280 Yeah.

00:32:03.540 From where they're at overall to having an underground capability of being able to shoot a missile thousands of miles.

00:32:11.740 I don't know that they can.

00:32:12.760 And,

00:32:13.020 and maybe they can.

00:32:14.360 Do you take the chance and then do a preemptive strike?

00:32:16.720 I don't know.

00:32:17.200 That's not us.

00:32:17.900 We don't do that.

00:32:19.100 Right.

00:32:19.500 Triple eight,

00:32:20.480 727 back.

00:32:24.480 Glenn back.

00:32:32.720 Glenn back.

00:32:34.080 Pat Gray and Jeffy.

00:32:35.640 Pat Gray Unleashed coming up right after the show on Blaze Radio and television.

00:32:39.120 Let's check in with Tim in North Dakota.

00:32:43.580 Hey,

00:32:43.820 Tim,

00:32:44.160 you're on the Glenn back program.

00:32:45.640 Hi.

00:32:46.460 Well,

00:32:46.600 thank you.

00:32:47.580 Yeah.

00:32:48.080 You guys are talking about Vietnam was a tie,

00:32:53.320 but really,

00:32:55.940 I don't,

00:32:56.440 I don't believe so.

00:32:57.560 We don't have a military presence like we do in South Korea.

00:33:02.340 And well,

00:33:03.100 you don't have to have a military presence there to,

00:33:05.560 to have won the war.

00:33:07.080 Well,

00:33:07.680 yeah,

00:33:08.220 but it's what Saigon called now.

00:33:10.860 It's Ho Chi Minh city.

00:33:12.300 Yeah.

00:33:12.420 But that wasn't because that was after we left.

00:33:15.240 Yeah.

00:33:15.560 But I mean,

00:33:16.720 yeah,

00:33:16.960 we pulled out and left them,

00:33:18.540 you know,

00:33:18.840 I spent 19 and a half months over there.

00:33:22.020 And,

00:33:22.160 uh,

00:33:22.360 thanks for your service.

00:33:23.580 It's well,

00:33:24.440 yeah,

00:33:24.940 you bet.

00:33:25.480 Uh,

00:33:25.760 but it just,

00:33:27.020 I felt bad about leaving.

00:33:28.880 We had invested so much time.

00:33:31.240 I know everything in there.

00:33:32.620 And then to leave them like that in,

00:33:35.660 uh,

00:33:35.880 I just feel that we lost it in,

00:33:38.040 and it was,

00:33:39.240 you know,

00:33:39.940 I love the Vietnamese people there in,

00:33:42.920 uh,

00:33:43.200 it was,

00:33:43.860 you know,

00:33:44.420 yeah.

00:33:44.860 But anyhow,

00:33:46.140 I,

00:33:46.580 I just feel that regardless what,

00:33:48.280 what we do with Kim Jong Jong,

00:33:50.920 uh,

00:33:51.320 this over in,

00:33:52.360 in North Korea now is,

00:33:54.060 uh,

00:33:54.380 you know,

00:33:55.520 it's going to be another hassle in,

00:33:58.260 uh,

00:33:58.740 American people.

00:33:59.720 How many more lives,

00:34:01.600 you know,

00:34:01.860 I believe we've got to protect our borders and our,

00:34:05.880 our interests and things,

00:34:07.360 but I'm kind of there too.

00:34:08.960 I'm kind of there too.

00:34:09.940 Thanks Tim.

00:34:10.620 And that's why I'm so hesitant.

00:34:13.340 That's one of the reasons I'm so hesitant to start saying,

00:34:16.860 yeah,

00:34:16.980 military intervention is appropriate here because we don't do military intervention the way we used to do it.

00:34:23.560 No,

00:34:23.900 we don't.

00:34:24.420 We go in halfway every time and halfway is not going to be good enough.

00:34:30.300 Now,

00:34:30.820 if you're absolutely committed to crushing the enemy and then getting out,

00:34:36.900 well,

00:34:37.680 that's a different matter.

00:34:38.740 But when was the last time we did that?

00:34:40.820 I'd say world war two, 0.65

00:34:42.060 probably.

00:34:42.500 Yeah.

00:34:43.220 World war two.

00:34:44.360 You,

00:34:44.880 you do what you have to do to win.

00:34:46.220 You don't let political correctness enter into your prosecution of a war.

00:34:50.560 And then you come home.

00:34:51.900 Cause it looked like we were going to do that in the first Iraq war. 0.93

00:34:55.640 That's what we were promised.

00:34:56.840 And then we pulled out shock and awe.

00:34:58.380 And then we pulled up.

00:34:59.860 And,

00:35:00.360 and,

00:35:00.600 and that's happened every time since world war two,

00:35:03.720 triple eight,

00:35:04.200 seven,

00:35:04.340 two,

00:35:04.480 seven back.

00:35:05.900 It's Pat Gray and Jeffy for Glenn all this week.

00:35:14.820 Glenn back.

00:35:15.860 Love courage.

00:35:24.820 Truth.

00:35:25.980 Glenn back.

00:35:27.080 Pat and Jeffy for Glenn,

00:35:28.520 triple eight,

00:35:29.120 seven,

00:35:29.360 two,

00:35:29.480 seven back.

00:35:30.680 They've quickly replaced Matt Lauer on the today show.

00:35:33.820 Looks like Hoda Kotb already started.

00:35:35.680 And there's some controversy on the Hoda Kotb front.

00:35:38.780 And Hoda Kotb is making a paltry $7 million a year.

00:35:45.660 Oh my gosh.

00:35:47.160 I am sick about it,

00:35:48.760 Jeffy.

00:35:49.000 I am sick about it.

00:35:51.140 So that's $18 million less than Matt Lauer was making.

00:35:54.580 In fact,

00:35:56.720 you add up the salaries of the two of the co-anchors now.

00:36:00.260 Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie.

00:36:01.860 Yeah.

00:36:02.220 It only adds up to a $14 million salary,

00:36:06.100 which is $11 million less than Matt Lauer.

00:36:08.940 I would walk.

00:36:10.360 Absolutely.

00:36:11.180 I think they should.

00:36:12.480 And I,

00:36:12.840 I will,

00:36:13.660 I'll do it for even less than,

00:36:16.520 I'll give them a $2 million discount.

00:36:18.500 I'll do it for $5 million.

00:36:20.480 Oh,

00:36:21.780 you're welcome.

00:36:22.440 NBC.

00:36:23.320 Give me a call later.

00:36:25.260 Tweet me at Pat Unleashed.

00:36:30.380 I,

00:36:31.020 I love the whole copy situation.

00:36:33.100 Cause I,

00:36:33.720 I'm pretty unfamiliar with her.

00:36:35.580 You glance,

00:36:36.120 I glance at the TV as we're on the air and that,

00:36:38.420 but I've never seen the Kathy Lee and Hoda show or whatever it is.

00:36:42.220 And so I'm really not that familiar with her,

00:36:45.040 except for the,

00:36:45.600 just,

00:36:45.880 I know she has a strange name.

00:36:47.260 That's about what I know about her. 0.86

00:36:48.340 I was reading an article yesterday.

00:36:49.720 They called her very funny and highly popular.

00:36:52.460 Yeah.

00:36:52.760 They love her.

00:36:53.300 I've never heard any buzz on her,

00:36:54.940 but you know,

00:36:55.680 okay.

00:36:56.180 I have not either.

00:36:57.020 I mean,

00:36:57.280 I know you and I,

00:36:58.660 uh,

00:36:59.240 you know,

00:36:59.480 spend a lot of time talking television hosts.

00:37:02.140 Uh huh.

00:37:02.300 And for some strange reason,

00:37:05.080 Hoda has never come up.

00:37:06.400 Not,

00:37:06.740 not once until,

00:37:08.000 until today,

00:37:08.800 of course,

00:37:09.040 of course,

00:37:09.080 yeah,

00:37:09.260 the last couple of days,

00:37:09.940 yesterday,

00:37:10.460 but,

00:37:10.920 uh,

00:37:12.260 she,

00:37:12.960 uh,

00:37:13.060 you know,

00:37:13.240 I guess they,

00:37:13.780 they fell in love with her when she,

00:37:15.280 you know,

00:37:15.720 was sharing her battle with breast cancer.

00:37:18.220 Oh yeah.

00:37:19.500 Yeah.

00:37:20.260 And you know,

00:37:20.780 so that she's covered a lot of stuff,

00:37:22.580 a lot of,

00:37:23.000 a lot of few big stories and she's, 0.99

00:37:25.520 you know,

00:37:25.660 her struggle with adopting a child.

00:37:27.420 And so,

00:37:28.400 I mean,

00:37:28.980 okay,

00:37:29.340 good.

00:37:29.860 Yeah.

00:37:30.260 I mean,

00:37:30.480 that's,

00:37:30.900 but they're going to make a discrimination thing out of this because she's making so much less than I was. 0.99

00:37:35.520 That's why I said she should watch.

00:37:36.760 a genuine television star and has been for a couple of decades,

00:37:40.260 a genuine TV star.

00:37:42.520 Yeah.

00:37:42.740 You're going to pay him.

00:37:43.520 He was your main guy at NBC,

00:37:45.440 especially after Brokaw was gone.

00:37:47.280 Yeah.

00:37:48.160 Nobody has the recognition that Matt Lauer does.

00:37:52.020 And so that came with a price and he was able to,

00:37:55.080 to work that.

00:37:55.900 Now is Hoda as valuable as Matt Lauer?

00:37:59.100 It doesn't have anything to do with her gender.

00:38:01.320 I just don't think she's the magnitude of where Lauer was.

00:38:05.500 You know,

00:38:06.080 look,

00:38:06.300 you're not going to pay if Hoda and Savannah can lay out some numbers that are serious and get to keep the viewers.

00:38:12.200 Yeah.

00:38:12.480 Maybe you can get some leverage and say,

00:38:14.620 okay,

00:38:14.860 I absolutely pay me $18 million more a year.

00:38:17.480 Yeah.

00:38:17.900 We both,

00:38:18.540 are they more power to say,

00:38:20.280 look,

00:38:20.580 you know,

00:38:21.080 we'll,

00:38:21.540 we know,

00:38:22.260 we,

00:38:22.600 we know right now you can't,

00:38:24.540 uh,

00:38:25.120 you know,

00:38:25.320 you're not going to pay us $25 million each.

00:38:27.260 So,

00:38:27.500 you know,

00:38:27.660 give us 12 and a half,

00:38:28.820 uh,

00:38:30.280 12.5 each.

00:38:31.720 And that's unfair because Matt got all 25 million to himself.

00:38:35.580 And then they paid Savannah's,

00:38:37.700 uh,

00:38:38.040 7 million on top of it.

00:38:39.720 Plus then you've got Al Roker.

00:38:41.360 I don't know what Al's making,

00:38:42.960 but I wonder what Al is.

00:38:43.900 I bet you Al is,

00:38:44.740 I bet you Al's making what 10.

00:38:46.580 It's got to be more than Hoda and,

00:38:49.120 and,

00:38:49.540 and Savannah,

00:38:50.540 right?

00:38:50.760 He's been there for a long time.

00:38:53.360 He is the mainstay in all of this.

00:38:56.120 He sure is.

00:38:57.000 And of course,

00:38:57.640 the guy who,

00:38:58.340 uh,

00:38:58.780 I pooped my pants.

00:39:00.940 The guy who pooped his pants.

00:39:02.500 And that's got to be worth something,

00:39:04.260 right?

00:39:04.600 He's pooped in your pants. 0.90

00:39:05.380 I pooped my pants.

00:39:06.560 I pooped my pants.

00:39:08.680 It happened to be at the white house when he,

00:39:10.840 uh,

00:39:11.200 I pooped my pants.

00:39:13.080 Now how much is poopoo pants making?

00:39:17.660 I'm saying eight.

00:39:19.540 So it is more,

00:39:20.680 but not pretty close.

00:39:21.900 Not much.

00:39:22.320 Yeah.

00:39:23.100 I mean,

00:39:23.640 that's a good gig.

00:39:24.580 He does the weather and he talks to the audience once in a while.

00:39:27.800 And he does the parade and the parade.

00:39:30.500 That's a good,

00:39:31.180 I'll do all of that for half of what Al makes.

00:39:33.020 And of course,

00:39:33.680 4 million for,

00:39:34.380 for 8 million.

00:39:35.300 I may go on TV and say,

00:39:37.220 you pooped in your pants. 0.95

00:39:38.980 I pooped my pants.

00:39:40.060 I'll do that for 1 million.

00:39:43.080 I mean,

00:39:46.080 just face it.

00:39:46.660 It's a great gig either way.

00:39:47.820 Yes,

00:39:48.180 absolutely.

00:39:49.120 I I'm not sure too many people are going to shed a tear for,

00:39:51.360 but that's the principle of the thing is,

00:39:53.540 is what we'll be arguing for a while.

00:39:55.240 I'm sure.

00:39:56.120 Absolutely.

00:39:56.640 They'll make a big deal out of this.

00:39:58.200 Triple eight,

00:39:58.680 seven,

00:39:58.960 two,

00:39:59.120 seven B E C K.

00:40:00.080 We were talking last week because of the president's,

00:40:03.600 uh,

00:40:04.840 tweet,

00:40:05.360 foreign policy situation.

00:40:08.080 He tweets our foreign policy almost every day.

00:40:11.400 And yesterday it was my buttons bigger than your button.

00:40:14.980 Let us to discussing a military options for North Korea or not.

00:40:19.480 And,

00:40:19.940 uh,

00:40:20.520 we had a caller claim that the United States has never lost.

00:40:23.140 And we should probably point that out to Kim Jong-un.

00:40:25.340 There are people who do believe,

00:40:27.100 and we've heard from them that we lost the Vietnam war.

00:40:29.760 And I just,

00:40:30.780 I don't subscribe to that.

00:40:32.560 It's like,

00:40:32.920 we weren't there when they lost.

00:40:34.300 What do you mean?

00:40:35.200 We didn't,

00:40:36.120 had we stayed,

00:40:37.720 they never would have,

00:40:40.260 uh,

00:40:41.440 taken over in,

00:40:43.260 in South Vietnam and,

00:40:44.500 and merged those two countries under a communist regime.

00:40:47.900 It just wouldn't have happened.

00:40:48.880 Everybody knows that.

00:40:50.360 We had to leave to enable them to sweep into South Korea and, 1.00

00:40:55.660 and be victorious.

00:40:57.260 We weren't there at the time.

00:40:58.920 That's not our loss.

00:40:59.920 That's South Korea's loss. 0.98

00:41:02.060 Right?

00:41:02.580 I mean,

00:41:02.920 that's,

00:41:03.260 that's the way I've always summed it up.

00:41:05.580 Not that history books are paying attention to the way I've always summed it up.

00:41:09.460 Uh,

00:41:09.860 let's go to Tim in South Carolina.

00:41:11.300 Tim,

00:41:11.720 hi,

00:41:11.900 you're on the Glenn Beck program.

00:41:13.420 Wow.

00:41:13.620 What a massive honor that the famous Pat Gray and maybe more,

00:41:16.920 less famous,

00:41:17.580 but more infamous Jeffy.

00:41:18.560 I'm calling from,

00:41:19.480 uh,

00:41:19.660 right outside of Columbia and then booming with South prop,

00:41:22.340 this is a new golf South Carolina,

00:41:23.460 where we have,

00:41:24.020 uh,

00:41:24.400 about 50,000 people and just a few less head of cattle.

00:41:27.380 I'm a 30 year medically retired naval aviator,

00:41:30.440 naval officer.

00:41:31.160 And I just wanted to,

00:41:32.240 uh,

00:41:33.100 Oh man,

00:41:33.620 guys,

00:41:33.860 you don't realize that when you guys say that it's our honor.

00:41:36.620 It really is our honor to,

00:41:38.020 I mean,

00:41:38.120 we served at the pleasure of the president,

00:41:39.540 which means we served the president at the pleasure of the people.

00:41:41.940 So it's our honor to do it.

00:41:43.200 Well,

00:41:43.340 you're welcome.

00:41:44.840 Absolutely.

00:41:45.360 Thank you.

00:41:45.800 We appreciate it.

00:41:46.380 I just want to,

00:41:47.360 well,

00:41:47.520 this is why your show is so important because you guys are throwing out

00:41:50.540 there the truth.

00:41:51.140 These people,

00:41:51.800 people don't,

00:41:52.700 anybody that's because we lost doesn't know history and they probably

00:41:55.860 are young and they probably haven't covered it in,

00:41:57.900 in,

00:41:58.180 in,

00:41:58.380 in history class.

00:41:59.420 And that's like a lot of other things they don't know.

00:42:02.500 And they just need to read,

00:42:04.500 read,

00:42:04.880 read,

00:42:05.060 read,

00:42:05.280 read,

00:42:05.420 read,

00:42:05.660 read,

00:42:05.800 read.

00:42:05.960 Don't watch.

00:42:06.580 You can watch documentaries.

00:42:07.540 That's okay.

00:42:08.000 But read and read everything.

00:42:09.640 Read what you don't like politically,

00:42:11.620 read what you like politically,

00:42:13.380 and you'll get the truth.

00:42:14.820 You'll sift out the truth.

00:42:15.620 But the truth here is after the pet offensive,

00:42:18.020 the North Vietnamese army and the,

00:42:20.380 uh,

00:42:20.660 the,

00:42:20.960 the Viet Cong stopped functioning as a fighting force.

00:42:24.840 When we left,

00:42:25.940 they had just better,

00:42:28.220 better stuff than the other guys,

00:42:29.920 the South Vietnamese,

00:42:30.860 because we left.

00:42:31.960 Right.

00:42:32.300 It's that simple.

00:42:33.000 Why did we leave?

00:42:33.780 I don't know.

00:42:34.440 I wasn't there.

00:42:35.100 I was born in 63.

00:42:37.620 So I want to say to Tim in North Dakota,

00:42:39.980 three things I say to Vietnam vets,

00:42:41.460 cause I'm post Vietnam.

00:42:42.760 Thank you for your service.

00:42:44.220 Uh,

00:42:44.460 you know,

00:42:44.740 thank you for doing what you did.

00:42:45.780 And you paved the way for guys like me to serve guys and gals like me to serve. 1.00

00:42:49.320 Yeah.

00:42:49.760 But yeah,

00:42:50.300 this is why your show is so critically important.

00:42:54.360 You're out here telling the truth.

00:42:55.720 You're out here spreading the truth.

00:42:57.120 You're out here,

00:42:57.560 uh,

00:42:58.080 making sure that history is shown to be the right history.

00:43:01.940 There is a right history and a wrong history.

00:43:03.380 And we see a lot of the wrong history.

00:43:05.240 So you guys keep up the fantastic work.

00:43:07.760 I never thought in a million years,

00:43:08.880 I'd call a national show,

00:43:09.960 but I'm glad I did call this show.

00:43:11.640 I've been listening to you guys since just after,

00:43:13.720 you know,

00:43:14.160 after you started,

00:43:15.520 you know,

00:43:15.740 and,

00:43:15.920 and all I can say is that you make me laugh up wariously.

00:43:20.720 Uh,

00:43:21.160 and you,

00:43:21.820 you,

00:43:22.040 you guys speak the truth.

00:43:23.840 And I'm proud to say that you guys are in our market and,

00:43:27.400 uh,

00:43:27.500 we,

00:43:27.660 we appreciate everything that you do and I am done.

00:43:30.580 And Oh,

00:43:31.000 your call screener.

00:43:32.180 Excellent.

00:43:32.540 That's a hardworking person right there.

00:43:34.400 Just want to throw it in.

00:43:35.580 You guys have a happy,

00:43:36.240 absolutely right.

00:43:37.000 I'm going to go off the air.

00:43:38.100 Bye bye.

00:43:38.320 All right.

00:43:38.520 Thanks,

00:43:38.900 Tim.

00:43:39.080 Appreciate it.

00:43:39.540 That's a,

00:43:40.000 that's very nice.

00:43:40.860 Triple eight,

00:43:41.360 seven,

00:43:41.560 two,

00:43:41.720 seven back.

00:43:43.080 Uh,

00:43:43.740 I wholeheartedly agree with the fact that we did not lose in Vietnam.

00:43:49.360 And the perception really began with Walter Cronkite that we were losing in Vietnam.

00:43:59.040 Walter Cronkite in 1968,

00:44:01.280 during the Tet Offensive actually claimed virtually claimed that America was being overrun or that the United States troops were being overrun.

00:44:12.200 The absolute opposite was true.

00:44:15.460 We won the Tet Offensive.

00:44:17.560 Now thousands,

00:44:19.760 tens of thousands of North Vietnam troops amassed and,

00:44:22.560 and poured into,

00:44:24.000 uh,

00:44:25.380 South Vietnam.

00:44:26.960 And at the same time,

00:44:28.880 Chinese troops,

00:44:30.320 uh,

00:44:31.000 helped.

00:44:31.460 And we staved off that entire invasion.

00:44:36.280 And for some reason,

00:44:38.320 Walter Cronkite spun that as a loss and that the Vietnam war was going poorly.

00:44:45.080 And it,

00:44:46.280 because he was so important to Americans daily lives,

00:44:50.540 the most trusted man in America and all that people just bought into it from 1968 on.

00:44:56.700 And the perception pretty much was with Americans we're losing.

00:45:00.160 We're getting our ass kicked there.

00:45:01.520 And it just wasn't the case.

00:45:02.940 Just not the case.

00:45:04.880 And history,

00:45:06.540 history books kind of went along with that theory.

00:45:09.460 Uh,

00:45:10.180 but we kept them at bay.

00:45:11.480 And again,

00:45:12.080 like as in Korea,

00:45:13.460 the point was not to,

00:45:15.720 uh,

00:45:16.600 go to North Vietnam and take the fight to them. 0.97

00:45:19.340 It was to keep them out of South Vietnam. 0.99

00:45:21.060 We're trying to stop the spread of communism.

00:45:24.740 Well,

00:45:25.220 we did that while we were there.

00:45:26.640 Is that not a victory?

00:45:29.260 If you want to say we left prematurely fine,

00:45:31.660 let's call it a tie,

00:45:32.640 but we did not lose that war.

00:45:34.960 We did not lose that war.

00:45:36.700 Uh,

00:45:37.100 Darlene in North Carolina.

00:45:38.540 You're on the Glenn Beck program.

00:45:39.780 Hi.

00:45:40.980 Hello.

00:45:41.820 Excuse me.

00:45:42.540 I'm still wiping my tears from Coda's bad news.

00:45:46.940 Right?

00:45:47.340 Right.

00:45:47.860 Yeah.

00:45:48.080 I know.

00:45:48.900 Anyway,

00:45:49.220 I feel your pain.

00:45:50.120 Okay.

00:45:51.420 Um,

00:45:53.560 Trump is such a negotiator and a successful one.

00:45:56.900 And I think it's because he knows how to get down to the level of who he's negotiating with.

00:46:02.420 And I think that's exactly what he's doing with Kim is he's getting down to his language,

00:46:08.180 his reaction,

00:46:09.400 and knows how to use it against him.

00:46:13.200 Absolutely.

00:46:14.300 Absolutely.

00:46:15.020 Thanks,

00:46:15.400 Darlene.

00:46:16.300 Uh,

00:46:16.560 he's,

00:46:16.940 he's effective.

00:46:17.800 He's a master at it.

00:46:19.120 Uh,

00:46:19.520 he knows,

00:46:20.400 and he knows how to get under the skin of the media.

00:46:22.800 And I think he enjoys that.

00:46:24.540 Oh,

00:46:24.960 yeah.

00:46:25.200 There's no question.

00:46:25.840 He enjoys it.

00:46:26.380 He's got some big award thing.

00:46:28.040 He's giving out next week,

00:46:29.080 right?

00:46:29.360 He's actually doing it.

00:46:30.780 With the media.

00:46:31.140 Yeah.

00:46:31.940 The,

00:46:32.300 um,

00:46:32.820 the worst coverage and,

00:46:35.740 and the most fake news.

00:46:37.000 And,

00:46:37.340 and it's,

00:46:38.240 it's a negative award.

00:46:39.440 Yes.

00:46:39.780 It's a negative award.

00:46:41.360 Stay tuned for,

00:46:42.360 stay tuned for next week that Trump's going to be giving out these awards.

00:46:46.020 I mean,

00:46:46.840 you know,

00:46:47.220 that just,

00:46:47.640 it's so amazing for the president of the United States.

00:46:50.420 This is so unprecedented.

00:46:52.420 It's kind of,

00:46:53.140 it's hard to get used to,

00:46:54.020 but it's certainly entertaining.

00:46:55.620 It sure is.

00:46:56.380 Never a dull moment in the Trump administration.

00:46:58.840 Larry in Oklahoma.

00:46:59.980 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

00:47:03.580 Jeffy.

00:47:04.200 It's an honor and a real honor and a pleasure to talk to you guys this morning.

00:47:08.980 Um,

00:47:09.460 you're really on top of the news.

00:47:11.240 I'm sure you've heard Donald Trump talk about,

00:47:14.020 uh,

00:47:15.160 requiring drug screening for unemployment checks.

00:47:19.500 And of course the left is going crazy saying that that is dehumanizing and insulting.

00:47:25.940 Unbelievable.

00:47:26.560 I hope it's not too early for a little common sense and logic.

00:47:29.600 So let's,

00:47:30.300 let's look at that from that perspective before a person can get an unemployment check.

00:47:35.120 They first have to have employment to get a check.

00:47:39.620 Correct.

00:47:40.460 Yes.

00:47:40.820 Well,

00:47:40.940 they can get that employment.

00:47:42.740 They're required to pass a drug test with some companies.

00:47:46.740 Yeah.

00:47:47.680 Most companies,

00:47:48.760 any reputable company today requires that.

00:47:51.580 So I don't see this as something that's,

00:47:56.040 uh,

00:47:56.640 dehumanizing and disgraceful.

00:47:59.680 I see it as a consistent policy.

00:48:02.600 If you have to pass a drug test to get an employment check.

00:48:05.920 Yeah.

00:48:06.220 You should be required to pass a drug test to get an unemployment check.

00:48:09.800 And I agree.

00:48:10.340 Just that's to me,

00:48:11.880 logic and common sense.

00:48:13.460 I agree.

00:48:13.880 I think this is nothing more than another step from those,

00:48:17.980 uh,

00:48:18.380 members of the movement to resist Trump on all fronts.

00:48:22.200 That's all this is.

00:48:23.740 And anybody that tries to make more of it than that is probably part of that

00:48:28.740 movement.

00:48:29.780 Appreciate it.

00:48:30.460 Thanks,

00:48:30.700 Larry.

00:48:31.060 Uh,

00:48:31.420 triple eight,

00:48:32.060 seven,

00:48:32.280 two,

00:48:32.440 seven B E C K.

00:48:34.120 Uh,

00:48:34.600 let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour,

00:48:37.320 which is LifeLock.

00:48:39.640 Uh,

00:48:40.120 if you're doing a lot of post holiday shopping from your mobile device,

00:48:43.580 retailers expect 54% of holiday shoppers to visit their sites from a mobile

00:48:48.180 device of some kind.

00:48:49.760 Scammers see this as a really good opportunity.

00:48:53.100 To steal your credit card information and other personal information by

00:48:58.040 distributing phony retail apps.

00:49:00.760 So be careful and only download apps from reputable app stores,

00:49:05.540 read the reviews and complaints about malware.

00:49:09.220 Now,

00:49:09.900 one in four people have experienced identity theft,

00:49:12.420 and this is many ways,

00:49:14.580 one of the many tools that scammers use.

00:49:17.500 So if you're only monitoring your credit,

00:49:20.180 your identity can can be stolen in,

00:49:22.000 in so many different ways.

00:49:23.240 And you might not even know about it.

00:49:25.180 Thieves can sell your information on the dark web or get an online payday loan

00:49:29.500 in your name.

00:49:31.080 Now LifeLock detects a wide range of identity threats.

00:49:41.940 I have LifeLock. 0.95

00:49:43.280 We've had them for years in my family.

00:49:45.680 They are fantastic and have alerted us to so many times,

00:49:49.400 so many problems.

00:49:50.280 And a lot of times when something just looks suspicious and they're checking with you,

00:49:54.180 and I appreciate that so much.

00:49:55.500 They catch everything,

00:49:56.480 virtually nothing.

00:49:57.560 Now,

00:49:57.680 nobody can catch absolutely everything,

00:50:00.220 but it seems to me that they've caught everything necessary in my life.

00:50:42.180 What is the deal with Steve Bannon now?

00:50:45.760 He seems a little unhappy with the Trumps.

00:50:48.180 All of a sudden,

00:50:48.720 he's done a 180.

00:50:50.560 On the president.

00:50:52.580 His former chief strategist,

00:50:55.680 and I think he's still ahead of Breitbart, right?

00:50:59.680 Of course I know.

00:51:00.380 He's described the Trump Tower meeting

00:51:02.140 between the president's son and a group of Russians

00:51:04.680 during the 2016 election campaign

00:51:06.660 as, quote,

00:51:08.120 treasonous

00:51:08.820 and unpatriotic,

00:51:11.100 unquote.

00:51:12.120 According to a new explosive book,

00:51:17.000 Bannon,

00:51:17.440 speaking to author Michael Wolff,

00:51:19.400 warned that the investigation into alleged collusion with the Kremlin

00:51:22.860 will focus on money laundering

00:51:25.220 and predicted

00:51:26.260 they're going to crack Don Jr.

00:51:28.580 like an egg on national TV.

00:51:31.340 Wow.

00:51:31.860 Look for a tweet about this.

00:51:35.000 That's not going to go...

00:51:35.680 About Steve Bannon shortly.

00:51:36.980 You aren't lying.

00:51:37.900 It's not going to go over good with our president.

00:51:40.160 That's for sure.

00:51:40.920 This is the big banner headline right now on Drudge,

00:51:43.380 which obviously the president reads continuously.

00:51:46.900 And when he sees the huge Bannon banner headline in red,

00:51:54.220 he is not going to be happy.

00:51:56.920 Wow.

00:51:58.020 I wonder what has happened in the relationship

00:52:00.420 because he was...

00:52:01.480 Even after he left,

00:52:03.280 he's been fairly loyal, it seems,

00:52:05.860 to the Trump camp.

00:52:07.400 It's tough not to be right.

00:52:08.300 And now, not so much.

00:52:12.040 Wow.

00:52:13.720 That's interesting.

00:52:14.640 I don't know what happened, but...

00:52:15.960 Something did.

00:52:16.420 I'm there for sure.

00:52:16.880 You aren't lying.

00:52:17.720 Something definitely happened.

00:52:19.760 888-727-BECK.

00:52:21.100 Dennis in Ohio.

00:52:22.760 You're on the Glenn Beck program.

00:52:23.800 Hi, Jeff.

00:52:25.160 Happy New Year to you.

00:52:26.460 Happy New Year.

00:52:27.220 The reason I called,

00:52:28.480 I disagree with both of you,

00:52:30.600 especially you, Pat,

00:52:32.400 about Vietnam.

00:52:34.160 No, we never lost a battle in Vietnam.

00:52:37.260 We only lost it politically.

00:52:40.140 Because I was in the service in 63 and 67,

00:52:43.580 right when it started getting heavy.

00:52:46.220 Yeah.

00:52:46.580 And I was on three destroyers,

00:52:49.520 and we bombed the coastal,

00:52:52.000 just literally just blew it off the map.

00:52:55.180 But I just wanted to straighten you guys up.

00:52:58.540 Okay.

00:52:59.820 Appreciate your service, by the way.

00:53:01.240 Thanks, Dennis.

00:53:01.700 Appreciate the call.

00:53:02.460 We definitely disagree on that.

00:53:05.800 I mean, politically, maybe.

00:53:08.160 But, you know, when you're talking a war,

00:53:11.280 I don't know if you're talking politics.

00:53:13.420 You're talking about who actually,

00:53:15.760 you know, it's like a football game.

00:53:19.320 Did you win by the score?

00:53:20.920 Well, yes, but the owner lost the team afterwards,

00:53:26.680 so he kind of lost anyway.

00:53:29.980 Wait, what?

00:53:30.700 I don't know that I agree with that.

00:53:33.920 Ryan in Georgia.

00:53:35.400 You're on the Glenn Beck program.

00:53:36.440 Hi.

00:53:38.240 Hey, Glenn.

00:53:39.240 It's Pat.

00:53:39.540 I just was curious.

00:53:40.760 Mm-hmm.

00:53:41.240 Just, I had a quick question.

00:53:42.620 I was curious with you.

00:53:43.380 When the president election was going on,

00:53:46.260 you weren't too high on Trump's getting elected.

00:53:51.920 Yeah.

00:53:52.220 That's an understatement.

00:53:53.200 I was just curious.

00:53:54.280 You know, yeah, very.

00:53:55.560 I follow all your podcasts and listen to you.

00:53:57.680 And I think now, are you saying that you are proud of the job he's doing?

00:54:03.100 I'm saying that I'm pleasantly surprised with the job he's done.

00:54:06.440 And, you know, as we said at the very beginning,

00:54:08.620 we're willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and see what happens.

00:54:11.580 So far, it's been pretty good.

00:54:14.420 I mean, I still have problems with him and the way he conducts himself and Twitter.

00:54:20.320 But some of the things he's done, and we've outlined them,

00:54:24.480 and we'll do so again, I'm sure, have been very, very good.

00:54:32.780 Glenn Beck.

00:54:42.740 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:54:45.540 Pat Gray.

00:54:46.480 Hey, Jeffy for Glenn.

00:54:47.660 888-727-BECK.

00:54:48.940 You can also catch Pat Gray Unleashed right after the show

00:54:51.340 on the Blaze Radio and TV Network.

00:54:54.220 Should clear up, because our last caller mentioned our feelings for Donald Trump

00:55:00.500 during the campaign.

00:55:01.740 And we made that pretty clear.

00:55:03.180 Yes, we did.

00:55:04.280 To our own peril, in fact.

00:55:06.120 That's what we tell the truth.

00:55:07.720 I mean, we express our opinions.

00:55:11.320 That's what we do.

00:55:12.440 And we were not excited about his candidacy.

00:55:16.280 I didn't think he was the best candidate.

00:55:20.120 And yes, we made that fairly clear.

00:55:23.520 He's not a conservative.

00:55:24.440 Even Donald Trump would tell you he's not a conservative.

00:55:28.140 So I wanted a conservative president.

00:55:31.520 But when he was, when the election came and went,

00:55:35.340 and Donald Trump won the presidency,

00:55:37.380 we stated from the very beginning of his presidency

00:55:40.800 that he's our president.

00:55:43.280 Yes.

00:55:43.540 He's our guy now.

00:55:44.480 Let's give him the benefit of the doubt.

00:55:46.120 Let's see what he does.

00:55:47.360 I'm willing to sit back and watch to see,

00:55:50.460 which we also did with Obama, by the way.

00:55:52.640 Yes.

00:55:53.200 And he disappointed us very quickly.

00:55:55.100 Like day one.

00:55:56.000 But for Donald Trump,

00:55:59.040 this president has done some really good things.

00:56:01.180 Obviously, the Supreme Court nomination,

00:56:04.080 the EPA regulations that he has cut.

00:56:09.180 Love that.

00:56:09.800 The Paris Accord he got us out of.

00:56:11.800 The TPP treaty that he pulled out of.

00:56:14.820 Giving state land back to the states.

00:56:18.040 It's a state's rights move by the executive

00:56:22.960 that I've, I can't remember the last time we saw that.

00:56:27.340 We've also had huge gains in the war against ISIS.

00:56:31.560 There have been, you know, a lot,

00:56:33.320 there's been a lot of things to be pleased about.

00:56:36.860 They passed a tax cut bill that was kind of Congress,

00:56:39.340 but he's going to sign it.

00:56:40.160 He's the one who drove them,

00:56:41.840 and it wasn't the best tax cut.

00:56:43.600 I think we should have done better than that

00:56:45.780 with the majority we have.

00:56:46.980 But, you know, those are all good things.

00:56:51.500 We still have, I still have some issues

00:56:54.320 with this president,

00:56:56.360 but I think on the whole,

00:56:57.940 I've been pleasantly surprised so far.

00:57:00.540 And we'll see if that continues.

00:57:01.740 I hope it does.

00:57:02.780 But we've wished him well from the beginning.

00:57:05.100 Right?

00:57:05.780 Always.

00:57:06.380 That was the whole point.

00:57:07.420 I mean, nobody wanted to hear that.

00:57:08.840 They wanted to hear us bashing him

00:57:10.220 and not treating him with the,

00:57:12.080 Donald Trump is the greatest ever.

00:57:13.460 Or they were so mad at us

00:57:14.560 because we didn't jump on his bandwagon immediately

00:57:16.460 that they ignored everything we said.

00:57:18.100 I don't know what, but...

00:57:19.540 But, I mean, it is important to realize that.

00:57:21.400 Look, we're judging him on his merits.

00:57:23.100 That's the point.

00:57:23.900 Yeah.

00:57:24.280 I mean, that's the whole deal.

00:57:25.560 We don't want him to fail.

00:57:27.600 He's the president of the United States.

00:57:29.140 It'd be silly to wish for that.

00:57:29.780 Unlike many people, I believe,

00:57:31.780 against this very president in today's world

00:57:34.240 who want to see him fail.

00:57:35.880 Yeah, no question.

00:57:36.460 I mean, they've said so.

00:57:37.600 The media, for example.

00:57:38.980 And the media has been so ridiculous

00:57:42.100 in their criticism of President Trump

00:57:44.660 that it also pushes you into defense mode

00:57:48.860 on his behalf.

00:57:51.000 Even though you might not be the biggest supporter,

00:57:52.880 they're so outrageous in their hatred

00:57:56.420 that it just pushes you to jump in there

00:57:59.100 and say, come on.

00:57:59.700 You have to.

00:58:00.520 Come on.

00:58:02.160 888-727-BECK.

00:58:04.440 Jack in Georgia.

00:58:05.480 You're on the Glenn Beck program.

00:58:08.740 I wanted to...

00:58:09.860 Hey.

00:58:11.840 Jack?

00:58:12.720 Hello?

00:58:13.320 Hi.

00:58:13.660 Go ahead.

00:58:13.900 Yeah.

00:58:14.300 I think the difference between winning and losing

00:58:17.840 is who's in charge.

00:58:20.800 In World War II, the generals were left in charge.

00:58:25.520 MacArthur in the Pacific.

00:58:27.820 And who was the guy in Europe?

00:58:31.160 Anyway, the difference in...

00:58:34.100 Eisenhower?

00:58:34.560 Iraq.

00:58:35.460 Uh-huh.

00:58:35.960 No, not Eisenhower.

00:58:37.980 Marshall.

00:58:39.020 Okay.

00:58:39.740 Was the guy who rebuilt Europe.

00:58:43.160 Oh, well, the Marshall Plan afterwards, yeah.

00:58:46.400 Mm-hmm.

00:58:46.920 Yeah, okay.

00:58:47.780 So we remained.

00:58:49.220 Yes.

00:58:49.700 We remained, but the military was in charge.

00:58:52.780 Okay.

00:58:53.440 Mm-hmm.

00:58:54.340 Iraq, we beat them militarily. 0.95

00:58:57.700 Vietnam, we beat them militarily, 0.89

00:58:59.620 although we did not go far enough.

00:59:03.060 You have to use force.

00:59:06.560 Mm-hmm.

00:59:08.240 And as soon as the State Department takes over

00:59:11.820 and the military withdraws, you lose.

00:59:14.900 That's true, was true in Iraq. 0.94

00:59:19.320 The day after the war was over

00:59:21.440 and they were in Baghdad,

00:59:26.340 the general had signs printed up

00:59:29.040 that said,

00:59:29.820 if I see you with a RPG or a long gun,

00:59:33.360 I'm going to kill you.

00:59:35.560 The State Department came in and said,

00:59:37.920 you cannot do that.

00:59:39.680 We're here to win hearts and minds.

00:59:41.780 Well, first, you have to have the people's attention.

00:59:45.160 Uh-huh.

00:59:45.860 Then Petraeus came along with a surge

00:59:49.540 and retook the country,

00:59:52.020 and that's not arguable.

00:59:54.300 Right.

00:59:54.920 The State Department came in and gave it away.

00:59:59.640 Yes, but military...

01:00:00.720 Yeah, I think you're right.

01:00:02.400 Appreciate that, Jack.

01:00:03.520 We've been talking about militarily.

01:00:04.720 Yeah, we won militarily.

01:00:05.980 Militarily.

01:00:06.460 And that's what the discussion has been on our part,

01:00:09.760 is whether or not we won it militarily,

01:00:11.800 and I believe we did.

01:00:13.160 And this all started from a caller

01:00:14.400 who said we've never lost,

01:00:15.680 and I just wanted to clear up

01:00:16.720 because I knew a lot of people were going,

01:00:18.140 Vietnam, we lost Vietnam! 1.00

01:00:19.420 What about Vietnam?

01:00:20.580 Remember Vietnam?

01:00:22.140 So we're just making sure everybody understood.

01:00:24.780 I don't think we lost that.

01:00:26.080 Worst case scenario is a tie.

01:00:28.740 Worst case.

01:00:29.380 Thanks, Jack.

01:00:30.180 Joe in Ohio,

01:00:31.340 you're on the Glenn Beck program.

01:00:32.620 Hi.

01:00:32.740 My question is,

01:00:37.240 if you quit,

01:00:38.640 is that considered a loss?

01:00:43.800 Yeah, sometimes it is.

01:00:46.760 Whether it's militarily

01:00:48.240 or politically or whatever,

01:00:50.580 we quit,

01:00:52.360 do you consider quitting a loss?

01:00:55.220 Not for the military.

01:00:56.500 And again,

01:00:57.040 did we win it militarily?

01:00:59.740 Yes.

01:01:00.320 It wasn't the military loss.

01:01:01.720 It was the politicians

01:01:03.040 who got us out of there.

01:01:05.660 And the politicians

01:01:06.200 couldn't take the heat

01:01:06.980 from the American people anymore.

01:01:08.280 It was such an unpopular war.

01:01:10.040 It was a tremendous time,

01:01:11.780 and that's why I think

01:01:12.920 a lot of these veterans

01:01:14.480 of the Vietnam War

01:01:15.880 are addicted to drugs and alcohol.

01:01:19.600 They're homeless.

01:01:20.200 They're downtrodden.

01:01:21.420 I think they thought

01:01:22.320 they lost the war.

01:01:23.500 I think that's part of the problem.

01:01:25.100 The government let them down,

01:01:26.760 and I think it psychologically

01:01:28.820 affected them in that way.

01:01:32.140 Yeah, I think so, too.

01:01:33.380 Yeah, I mean,

01:01:33.980 there's no argument there.

01:01:35.360 Appreciate it, Joe.

01:01:36.020 Again, the argument was,

01:01:37.460 did we win militarily?

01:01:38.700 And I think, yes, we did.

01:01:40.560 Yes, we did.

01:01:41.700 So, but yeah,

01:01:42.680 it was the perception

01:01:43.500 that we lost.

01:01:44.880 Yes, that's why people

01:01:46.080 have been saying

01:01:46.740 that we're 12-1 in wars now.

01:01:49.680 Every time somebody

01:01:51.440 brings up Vietnam, 0.97

01:01:52.680 they say, well,

01:01:54.040 when we lost in Vietnam,

01:01:55.860 well, we didn't lose.

01:01:57.600 We didn't lose that.

01:01:58.900 Right.

01:01:59.460 The point is,

01:02:00.580 American military might

01:02:01.820 has never been vanquished.

01:02:04.780 Never.

01:02:05.680 Not in our history.

01:02:07.640 Bob in Alabama,

01:02:08.960 you're on the Glenn Beck program.

01:02:10.120 Hi.

01:02:11.460 Good morning, sir.

01:02:12.800 Hey.

01:02:14.300 What I'm calling about

01:02:16.360 is something that I've been

01:02:17.820 hearing on TV

01:02:18.940 a lot lately.

01:02:20.300 Mm-hmm.

01:02:21.120 And in talking about

01:02:22.960 our country,

01:02:23.760 what kind of a country

01:02:24.920 do we have?

01:02:26.480 Do we have a democracy

01:02:27.860 or do we have a republic?

01:02:30.060 Yeah, we have a republic,

01:02:31.020 obviously.

01:02:32.340 One of my biggest pet peeves.

01:02:33.060 And why do people

01:02:33.680 keep talking about

01:02:35.280 our democracy?

01:02:36.800 I know.

01:02:37.860 And it doesn't stop.

01:02:39.340 Yeah.

01:02:39.520 It has been endless.

01:02:41.620 And it's been endless

01:02:42.300 really since the beginning,

01:02:44.280 maybe before,

01:02:45.020 but for sure,

01:02:45.560 it just became so noticeable

01:02:46.700 during the Barack Obama

01:02:49.280 presidency.

01:02:50.660 Yeah, because he's trying

01:02:51.540 to get everybody

01:02:52.980 used to the term.

01:02:53.740 Yeah, and it worked.

01:02:54.620 So that when we head

01:02:55.160 to democratic socialism,

01:02:56.440 well, we're a democracy.

01:02:57.120 It worked.

01:02:58.080 Thanks, Bob.

01:02:58.640 Appreciate it.

01:02:59.340 That's why I fight

01:03:00.300 that battle all the time.

01:03:01.220 That's why it's my pet peeve.

01:03:02.420 I can't stand it

01:03:03.420 when people call it

01:03:04.220 a democracy.

01:03:05.480 We're not.

01:03:06.420 And even our founders said

01:03:07.580 democracies don't work

01:03:09.320 because they looked back

01:03:11.460 over history

01:03:12.000 and found the fact

01:03:12.820 that they don't work,

01:03:14.840 which is why

01:03:15.280 they didn't set up

01:03:15.920 a democracy.

01:03:17.020 They set up a republic.

01:03:18.900 Sam in Wisconsin.

01:03:19.820 You're on the Glenn Beck program.

01:03:22.540 Good day, gentlemen.

01:03:23.560 I just want to say

01:03:24.320 with all the goings on today,

01:03:25.620 it seems like,

01:03:26.680 reminds me of an old Western

01:03:28.240 where the sheriff

01:03:29.560 is crooked,

01:03:30.500 the prosecutor

01:03:31.280 is crooked,

01:03:32.660 the judge

01:03:33.300 and the governor.

01:03:36.040 As it relates

01:03:37.340 to who are we

01:03:39.020 talking about?

01:03:39.980 The Justice Department.

01:03:41.700 Yeah.

01:03:41.940 People in the Justice Department,

01:03:43.560 the people in the FBI.

01:03:45.020 Right.

01:03:45.880 Judges.

01:03:47.560 Perhaps higher than that.

01:03:49.140 Yeah.

01:03:49.360 We'll see where it goes.

01:03:50.920 Appreciate it.

01:03:51.420 Thanks, Sam.

01:03:52.800 You're right about that.

01:03:54.840 Republicans

01:03:55.280 on key congressional committees

01:03:56.700 right now

01:03:57.200 are saying

01:03:57.660 that they've uncovered

01:03:58.440 new irregularities

01:03:59.540 and contradictions

01:04:00.300 in the FBI's probe

01:04:02.380 of Hillary Clinton's

01:04:03.700 email server.

01:04:05.020 Investigators say

01:04:05.820 they've secured

01:04:06.780 written evidence

01:04:08.000 that the FBI

01:04:09.720 believed there was evidence

01:04:10.780 that some laws

01:04:11.700 were broken

01:04:12.260 when Hillary

01:04:14.500 and her top aides 1.00

01:04:15.320 transmitted classified

01:04:16.380 information through

01:04:17.340 her insecure private

01:04:18.400 email service.

01:04:19.120 Some laws.

01:04:20.040 You know,

01:04:20.500 there's,

01:04:20.860 look,

01:04:21.580 there's,

01:04:21.920 there's,

01:04:22.300 did she break every law? 0.79

01:04:23.400 No.

01:04:23.660 No.

01:04:24.000 No.

01:04:25.120 No.

01:04:25.600 So get off her back. 1.00

01:04:27.080 I mean,

01:04:27.700 you're going to break

01:04:29.740 a couple of yolks

01:04:30.520 if you crack some.

01:04:31.300 And so that's what,

01:04:33.280 I mean,

01:04:34.000 that's what he's talking

01:04:35.280 about here.

01:04:36.200 It's just,

01:04:36.820 then you get that

01:04:37.880 perception that

01:04:38.960 everybody is corrupt

01:04:39.920 because as they're

01:04:40.980 looking into corruption,

01:04:42.580 they corrupt

01:04:43.280 the investigation.

01:04:46.920 I guess we're just

01:04:48.180 supposed to look

01:04:48.680 the other way

01:04:49.120 and say,

01:04:49.380 ah,

01:04:49.780 don't even worry

01:04:50.720 about that.

01:04:51.480 Don't even worry.

01:04:52.840 Ah,

01:04:53.100 it's Hillary.

01:04:53.920 It's Hillary.

01:04:54.780 And Hillary's just 1.00

01:04:55.380 being Hillary.

01:04:56.760 She already explained

01:04:57.580 that it was probably

01:04:58.660 not the best decision.

01:04:59.940 She may not do it again

01:05:01.220 if she had the choice.

01:05:02.040 Leave her alone. 1.00

01:05:02.840 She knows.

01:05:03.700 She's with Bill.

01:05:05.080 They're back home.

01:05:06.180 Everything's fine.

01:05:07.320 At this point,

01:05:08.380 what difference

01:05:09.400 does it make?

01:05:10.100 Thank you.

01:05:11.480 If I could just

01:05:12.560 sum it up that way.

01:05:13.920 Thank you.

01:05:14.680 Bottom line,

01:05:15.660 what difference

01:05:16.500 does it make?

01:05:18.000 What a great line.

01:05:20.420 You know,

01:05:21.560 so,

01:05:22.180 of course,

01:05:23.060 we've got the perception

01:05:23.960 that everybody's corrupt.

01:05:25.320 You have that perception

01:05:26.300 that we're living

01:05:26.980 in a bad Western movie now

01:05:28.360 where the sheriff is bad,

01:05:31.300 the deputy sheriff is bad,

01:05:33.520 the mayor is bad,

01:05:35.100 the governor is bad,

01:05:36.280 everybody's in on it,

01:05:37.460 and they're all going after

01:05:39.460 the honest brokers

01:05:40.940 in their community.

01:05:43.120 Yeah,

01:05:43.320 because that's what

01:05:43.880 it feels like.

01:05:44.720 It sure does.

01:05:46.400 Speaking of the way

01:05:47.520 things feel,

01:05:49.140 it is still really cold

01:05:52.020 in much of

01:05:53.560 the United States.

01:05:54.900 Yeah,

01:05:55.140 we've got the weather

01:05:55.780 bomb going on

01:05:56.680 across the country,

01:05:57.480 right?

01:05:57.800 We've got to get

01:05:58.240 into this.

01:05:58.740 90% of the U.S.

01:06:00.660 didn't get above

01:06:01.560 freezing on New Year's Day.

01:06:04.000 Look at that.

01:06:05.480 90% of the country,

01:06:06.980 including Dallas, Texas,

01:06:08.720 which is highly unusual.

01:06:10.120 But 100% of this room

01:06:11.980 is not above freezing.

01:06:14.620 It's still today.

01:06:16.100 There's no doubt about that.

01:06:18.820 I love it.

01:06:19.920 And then,

01:06:20.300 again,

01:06:20.600 when you talk corruption,

01:06:21.380 so what are the climate

01:06:23.980 scientists saying?

01:06:25.620 Yeah,

01:06:25.800 it's because of global warming.

01:06:27.080 Of course.

01:06:27.960 The cold

01:06:28.900 is because of global warming.

01:06:31.380 So,

01:06:32.000 no matter what happens

01:06:33.260 as far as the weather

01:06:34.040 is concerned,

01:06:34.640 it doesn't matter.

01:06:35.160 It's global warming.

01:06:35.960 It's climate change,

01:06:36.880 and then there's,

01:06:37.840 they made us believe,

01:06:38.740 right,

01:06:38.920 that weather was different

01:06:39.900 than climate change.

01:06:41.120 At first,

01:06:41.600 it was climate change

01:06:42.820 was the weather.

01:06:43.980 And then,

01:06:45.060 when people started

01:06:46.240 doubting that,

01:06:47.000 it's,

01:06:47.220 well,

01:06:47.300 weather isn't climate change.

01:06:49.080 Climate change

01:06:49.480 is separate from weather.

01:06:51.100 It doesn't matter

01:06:51.900 what the argument is.

01:06:52.820 They win

01:06:53.360 because everything

01:06:54.060 means global warming.

01:06:55.320 Right.

01:06:56.360 If it's warmer than normal,

01:06:57.460 obviously,

01:06:57.900 that's global warming. 0.98

01:06:58.760 Of course.

01:06:59.340 If it's a lot colder

01:07:00.520 than normal,

01:07:01.220 that's global warming. 0.98

01:07:02.520 It's about the same,

01:07:03.420 man.

01:07:03.620 That's global warming. 0.98

01:07:04.760 That is,

01:07:05.240 that's climate change.

01:07:06.700 It's unbelievable to me.

01:07:08.820 And sure enough,

01:07:10.040 they're citing

01:07:10.660 this cold front

01:07:12.280 as more evidence

01:07:13.580 of climate change

01:07:15.240 because people are saying,

01:07:16.200 look how cold it is.

01:07:17.120 You're right.

01:07:17.540 What do you mean global warming?

01:07:18.480 We've got record-breaking cold

01:07:20.980 everywhere.

01:07:22.680 Yeah,

01:07:22.960 well,

01:07:23.320 that doesn't mean anything.

01:07:25.420 That just means

01:07:26.220 that there's global warming.

01:07:30.320 What?

01:07:33.080 It is,

01:07:33.760 though.

01:07:33.840 I mean,

01:07:33.980 they're looking at flurries

01:07:35.160 down to central Florida,

01:07:37.640 possible flurries,

01:07:38.580 and then all the way

01:07:39.100 up the east coast.

01:07:40.020 It's cold all over the country,

01:07:41.820 man.

01:07:42.180 Yeah,

01:07:42.620 it is.

01:07:43.100 It's frigid,

01:07:44.080 and that's because

01:07:46.100 of global warming.

01:07:46.920 Thank you.

01:07:47.420 Okay?

01:07:47.880 Thank you.

01:07:48.300 888-727-BECK.

01:07:52.800 Glenn Beck.

01:08:00.780 Glenn Beck.

01:08:03.020 Pat and Jeffy for Glenn.

01:08:03.960 888-727-BECK.

01:08:10.140 You know,

01:08:10.460 we were just talking about

01:08:11.500 the cold that has gripped

01:08:13.220 about 90% of the country.

01:08:15.560 In fact,

01:08:15.980 90% on New Year's Day,

01:08:17.240 90% of the nation

01:08:18.460 didn't get to the freezing level,

01:08:20.220 didn't get to 32.

01:08:21.780 That is crazy.

01:08:22.760 That sure is.

01:08:23.720 And of course,

01:08:25.080 that means global warming

01:08:26.180 to the global warming scientists.

01:08:27.420 An Australian science writer

01:08:29.920 has just,

01:08:31.660 she wrote this article,

01:08:32.920 and she noticed

01:08:34.380 what I think

01:08:35.160 many of us have noticed

01:08:36.260 for years now.

01:08:37.640 She said,

01:08:38.120 for the radical climate crowd,

01:08:39.640 extreme cold

01:08:40.600 is just weather.

01:08:41.580 But all heat waves

01:08:44.300 are climate change.

01:08:45.240 Isn't that the truth?

01:08:46.760 Yeah.

01:08:47.460 While heat waves

01:08:48.240 and extreme weather events

01:08:49.920 are routinely pointed to

01:08:51.300 as indications

01:08:52.080 of global warming trends,

01:08:53.460 the coldest weather

01:08:54.280 in over a century

01:08:55.440 that we're having right now.

01:08:57.040 Yeah,

01:08:57.220 that's just the natural

01:08:58.300 variability

01:08:59.080 of the weather cycle.

01:09:01.240 Yeah,

01:09:01.460 things change.

01:09:02.220 Of course,

01:09:02.600 it's going to get cold sometimes.

01:09:04.160 Well,

01:09:04.380 that's what we tell you

01:09:05.440 about the heat.

01:09:06.300 Why do you never say that

01:09:09.560 about a heat wave?

01:09:10.860 Well,

01:09:11.100 yeah,

01:09:11.240 that happens.

01:09:11.780 It's always happened.

01:09:12.780 We've always had heat waves.

01:09:16.100 That's why some of the records

01:09:17.140 we have are from 1932.

01:09:20.400 But every single,

01:09:21.640 and like you mentioned,

01:09:23.760 we used to be told

01:09:24.480 all the time,

01:09:25.200 oh,

01:09:25.640 don't confuse weather

01:09:27.080 with climate

01:09:27.640 because you can't do that.

01:09:31.000 So any weather-related event

01:09:32.600 like a storm

01:09:33.760 or a heat wave,

01:09:34.700 that's just one day

01:09:35.940 or a couple of days

01:09:37.080 cycle thing.

01:09:39.100 But climate is over

01:09:40.500 a period of time.

01:09:42.260 Then all of a sudden,

01:09:43.320 every single heat wave

01:09:44.180 that happened,

01:09:44.900 see,

01:09:45.540 science,

01:09:46.240 it's global warming.

01:09:48.080 Every hurricane that happened,

01:09:49.420 see,

01:09:49.980 it's global warming.

01:09:51.380 There it is.

01:09:53.360 Then they fell silent

01:09:55.160 during the 12 years

01:09:56.380 of no hurricanes

01:09:57.340 hitting the U.S. mainland.

01:09:59.860 And then all of a sudden,

01:10:01.500 a few do,

01:10:02.600 and of course,

01:10:03.180 that's global warming. 0.98

01:10:04.660 Just unreal.

01:10:06.680 Let's go to Josh

01:10:07.520 in Alabama.

01:10:08.520 Hey, Josh,

01:10:09.180 you're on the Glenn Beck program.

01:10:11.500 Hey, Glenn.

01:10:12.060 I always love your show.

01:10:13.420 I just wanted to bring up

01:10:14.560 a point about

01:10:15.200 the military losses.

01:10:17.120 You may have already

01:10:17.660 brought it up.

01:10:18.500 I may have my facts

01:10:19.500 a little misled,

01:10:21.260 but didn't we

01:10:21.780 get our butts 0.99

01:10:22.880 handed to us

01:10:23.480 in Panama?

01:10:24.860 In Panama?

01:10:25.860 No.

01:10:26.560 What?

01:10:28.040 Our butts

01:10:28.760 got handed to us

01:10:29.660 in Panama?

01:10:30.760 I don't think so.

01:10:31.280 Hang on a second.

01:10:32.680 We're out of time.

01:10:33.480 We'll get back to this

01:10:34.380 on the Glenn Beck program

01:10:35.620 with Pat and Jeffy.

01:11:02.060 Immediately

01:11:02.460 after this show,

01:11:03.640 you can also check out

01:11:04.940 Pat Gray Unleashed

01:11:05.880 every day

01:11:06.920 on the Blaze

01:11:07.580 Radio and TV Network.

01:11:08.700 We're going to get back

01:11:09.240 to Josh

01:11:10.000 and our discussion

01:11:10.740 sparked some controversy

01:11:12.720 here.

01:11:14.180 One of our callers

01:11:15.240 a few hours ago

01:11:17.340 now

01:11:17.640 mentioned the fact

01:11:19.460 that the U.S.

01:11:20.080 was unbeaten.

01:11:20.840 It had to do

01:11:22.580 with the tweets

01:11:23.240 between Trump

01:11:24.460 and Kim Jong-un

01:11:25.480 and maybe we should

01:11:26.560 mention that,

01:11:27.200 hey, we're unbeaten

01:11:27.780 in war

01:11:28.180 and I knew

01:11:28.700 that people

01:11:29.060 were going to say,

01:11:29.600 well, what about Vietnam?

01:11:31.420 And so,

01:11:32.680 my perception,

01:11:34.620 my belief

01:11:35.160 has always been

01:11:35.700 we didn't lose

01:11:36.240 Vietnam,

01:11:36.860 we left.

01:11:38.100 And they lost Vietnam. 0.72

01:11:39.900 Wasn't us.

01:11:41.160 We'll get back

01:11:41.760 to that discussion

01:11:42.760 in a second here.

01:11:43.700 But an interesting

01:11:46.040 little problem

01:11:46.580 developed in

01:11:47.600 Dallas last night.

01:11:50.640 Are you familiar

01:11:51.680 with Erykah Badu?

01:11:53.740 Of course you are.

01:11:54.620 I mean...

01:11:55.420 Are you asking me?

01:11:56.260 No, yeah.

01:11:56.820 I mean, no,

01:11:57.180 obviously you are.

01:11:57.580 The Erykah Badu?

01:11:58.960 Yeah, I mean,

01:12:00.220 you know,

01:12:00.520 famous for such songs

01:12:01.560 that, well,

01:12:02.000 I won't even get

01:12:02.880 into the wrong list.

01:12:04.000 There's the one song

01:12:04.580 that she does,

01:12:05.140 I love.

01:12:06.000 She's so terrific.

01:12:06.940 I just love

01:12:07.620 the Erykah Badu songs.

01:12:08.980 Well, I love

01:12:09.300 that she does.

01:12:10.220 I love, you know,

01:12:11.180 her look.

01:12:12.060 The whole look.

01:12:12.940 With the long hair

01:12:13.600 and the hat.

01:12:14.680 Yes, that.

01:12:17.280 She got pulled over 0.84

01:12:18.260 in Dallas last night

01:12:19.560 and she said,

01:12:20.960 Officer,

01:12:21.320 why are you pulling me over?

01:12:22.260 He smiled

01:12:23.860 and replied on camera,

01:12:25.860 which she was filming,

01:12:27.360 because I wanted

01:12:28.060 to say hi.

01:12:30.360 So,

01:12:31.080 a Dallas police officer,

01:12:32.920 obviously familiar

01:12:34.080 with Erykah Badu.

01:12:34.540 and all the great

01:12:36.800 songs that she does.

01:12:40.340 Actually just pulled her,

01:12:41.480 recognized her

01:12:42.180 as he's driving by her

01:12:43.440 and then pulls her over 0.92

01:12:44.660 and apparently

01:12:45.300 that's a problem.

01:12:47.220 Despite the good-natured

01:12:48.460 intention of the stop,

01:12:49.540 there's a serious

01:12:50.500 legal issue

01:12:51.380 with the impromptu

01:12:52.320 meet and greet.

01:12:53.600 Stop it.

01:12:53.960 Police are supposed

01:12:54.580 to at least have

01:12:55.420 probable cause

01:12:56.300 that a driver

01:12:56.880 has done something wrong

01:12:57.740 before pulling them over.

01:13:00.300 Stop it.

01:13:01.000 Is that a huge issue?

01:13:01.940 It doesn't look like

01:13:02.760 Erykah Badu

01:13:03.460 is making an issue

01:13:04.260 out of it,

01:13:04.700 but other legal minds

01:13:06.540 are.

01:13:07.940 Abuse of power.

01:13:09.260 I know.

01:13:09.700 Stop it.

01:13:10.760 It's silly.

01:13:11.220 It's totally unprofessional.

01:13:12.660 Is it for the police officer

01:13:15.380 to say,

01:13:15.900 hey,

01:13:16.000 I just wanted to say hi,

01:13:17.060 I'm looking out for you,

01:13:18.320 thank you?

01:13:19.820 It's kind of a goodwill gesture.

01:13:21.480 It sure is.

01:13:22.360 But it's okay

01:13:23.320 if the police officer

01:13:24.200 pulls just anybody over

01:13:25.520 and gives them a turkey

01:13:26.820 over the Thanksgiving holiday

01:13:28.720 or gives them

01:13:29.360 a Christmas present

01:13:30.140 over the Christmas holiday.

01:13:31.440 Which they've done

01:13:31.960 in some communities.

01:13:32.220 They do all the time.

01:13:33.460 All around the country,

01:13:34.760 they think it's cute

01:13:35.480 to just pull people over

01:13:36.500 and give them presents,

01:13:37.480 but they can't just stop

01:13:38.500 and say hi.

01:13:39.320 Stop it.

01:13:39.820 Actually,

01:13:40.220 police are trying to,

01:13:41.520 you know,

01:13:43.420 create the right perception

01:13:44.520 of them.

01:13:45.140 Thank you.

01:13:45.420 That they're helpers,

01:13:46.700 they're there to serve

01:13:47.400 and protect,

01:13:47.800 but they're also good people

01:13:49.060 and that's why

01:13:49.720 I think in a lot of communities,

01:13:51.260 like police officers

01:13:52.120 are encouraged to stop

01:13:53.400 and hang out with kids

01:13:54.520 once in a while

01:13:55.120 just to show them,

01:13:55.880 look,

01:13:56.180 we're not a scary force,

01:13:58.740 we're here to help.

01:14:00.280 I mean,

01:14:00.540 I know it was,

01:14:01.200 you know,

01:14:01.400 back in the turn

01:14:01.940 of the century,

01:14:02.420 but they did

01:14:03.060 when I was a kid.

01:14:04.480 Yeah.

01:14:05.100 I mean,

01:14:05.780 you knew who the,

01:14:06.520 you knew the police officers

01:14:07.500 in the neighborhood.

01:14:08.300 Right.

01:14:09.060 And it seems that

01:14:09.620 they're trying to get back

01:14:10.460 to that.

01:14:10.880 I've seen videos

01:14:11.880 of communities

01:14:12.960 that encourage them

01:14:13.740 to stop

01:14:14.180 and hang out

01:14:15.480 and you've seen

01:14:16.420 the videos

01:14:16.860 of them playing

01:14:17.340 basketball with kids

01:14:18.320 in the neighborhood

01:14:18.920 and that kind of stuff.

01:14:19.840 Yeah, yeah.

01:14:20.560 It's a cool thing.

01:14:22.680 888-900

01:14:23.760 or 888-777.

01:14:25.400 It certainly is a terrible thing.

01:14:26.300 No, it's not.

01:14:26.720 I mean,

01:14:26.980 there's nothing

01:14:27.840 that they should be reprimanded about.

01:14:29.820 It doesn't seem like a thing

01:14:31.360 that needs to be made

01:14:32.500 into a national crisis.

01:14:36.500 No.

01:14:37.140 No, it does not.

01:14:37.980 So let's just move past that.

01:14:40.380 Okay, Josh,

01:14:41.580 in Alabama,

01:14:42.260 you were saying

01:14:43.040 that your belief is

01:14:44.980 that Panama kicked our butts? 0.99

01:14:47.340 Well, you know,

01:14:48.820 once you said no,

01:14:50.240 I pulled over,

01:14:51.000 of course,

01:14:51.380 and I got it on the internet

01:14:52.840 and now I realize

01:14:54.420 my initial statement

01:14:56.320 was way off-base.

01:14:58.980 Where did you get that?

01:15:00.020 I got that in my head.

01:15:01.040 Did you?

01:15:01.760 Okay.

01:15:02.100 Maybe during the time

01:15:03.500 that it was going,

01:15:04.540 I was living with

01:15:06.020 a set of step-parents

01:15:07.980 that were highly Democrat

01:15:09.280 and very liberal.

01:15:10.500 Oh, there's your problem.

01:15:10.980 Maybe, you know,

01:15:12.380 maybe that was it.

01:15:13.580 I'll bet it is.

01:15:14.460 I don't know.

01:15:14.760 I'll bet it is.

01:15:15.800 Thanks, Josh.

01:15:16.580 Glad we were able

01:15:17.240 to clear up that lifelong

01:15:18.380 misperception.

01:15:19.500 If it wasn't their fault,

01:15:20.520 it was Walter Cronkite's fault.

01:15:22.020 Yes.

01:15:22.380 I'll tell you that.

01:15:23.260 The way he reported

01:15:24.500 on Panama.

01:15:28.180 Panama was 89.

01:15:31.240 I doubt it was Walter

01:15:32.900 at the time.

01:15:33.400 He was still alive.

01:15:33.960 He was alive.

01:15:34.880 He was alive.

01:15:35.560 I don't think he was doing

01:15:36.540 the CBS Evening News.

01:15:37.540 He was on the sailboat.

01:15:38.760 Panama was a huge victory.

01:15:40.080 We invaded the country

01:15:42.260 in 1989.

01:15:45.480 I think it was December 20th.

01:15:47.040 Within four days,

01:15:48.060 we had almost total control

01:15:49.360 of the entire nation.

01:15:50.540 I mean, that's,

01:15:51.120 look, that's what the-

01:15:52.620 Hole control.

01:15:53.400 And that's when we removed

01:15:54.740 Noriega,

01:15:57.160 brought him to Miami,

01:15:58.540 made him stand trial,

01:15:59.820 all of that stuff.

01:16:00.880 It only took four days

01:16:02.460 to secure the island of Spice.

01:16:05.480 Yeah.

01:16:06.060 I thought you didn't like

01:16:07.060 to talk about those days.

01:16:08.120 You know, I just let,

01:16:08.840 I like, you know,

01:16:09.520 we're talking victories today.

01:16:11.560 Yeah, interesting.

01:16:12.440 And it's important to note

01:16:13.240 that that was an important victory.

01:16:16.360 Jeff in Tennessee.

01:16:17.960 Hi, you're on

01:16:18.600 the Glenn Beck program.

01:16:20.380 Hello.

01:16:21.780 I could disagree

01:16:22.940 that America has lost the war.

01:16:24.900 I'm from Tennessee.

01:16:26.240 And here in the South,

01:16:27.420 we lost Lincoln's war.

01:16:29.460 And it fundamentally changed

01:16:31.220 the way we see ourselves.

01:16:33.360 Yeah.

01:16:34.480 That wasn't America, though.

01:16:35.900 That was the Confederacy.

01:16:38.120 America won that war.

01:16:39.780 The Union won that war.

01:16:41.240 Yeah, but I think

01:16:41.540 the results of that war

01:16:43.180 left us with

01:16:44.860 a centralized government

01:16:46.320 where we had been

01:16:47.840 a federation

01:16:48.920 of sovereign states.

01:16:50.600 And now,

01:16:51.520 with Washington,

01:16:54.120 you know,

01:16:55.120 the national government

01:16:57.640 being, you know,

01:17:00.100 viewed as supreme

01:17:01.600 has caused a lot

01:17:02.740 of the problems

01:17:03.320 we have today.

01:17:04.920 You know,

01:17:05.340 and the way we look at it.

01:17:06.800 I hear on this program

01:17:07.940 a lot of times.

01:17:08.860 And the basis

01:17:09.640 of all this

01:17:10.460 is the fact that

01:17:12.340 we lost this war

01:17:14.040 and it changed

01:17:15.640 the way this

01:17:16.120 government operates.

01:17:19.080 That we,

01:17:19.900 meaning the Confederacy,

01:17:21.140 lost the war.

01:17:22.320 You sound like a guy

01:17:23.340 who'd like the South.

01:17:24.620 You sound like a man

01:17:25.900 who would like

01:17:26.420 the South to rise again.

01:17:27.680 Well, no,

01:17:29.620 not necessarily.

01:17:31.160 I'd like us to go back

01:17:32.700 to, you know,

01:17:34.000 to being,

01:17:35.580 the states being sovereign

01:17:37.220 and us being a federation

01:17:38.860 instead of, you know,

01:17:40.640 it being the other way around.

01:17:42.640 I think

01:17:43.460 that the local governments

01:17:46.180 and the local control

01:17:48.460 is more important

01:17:49.540 than what happens

01:17:50.920 in Washington.

01:17:51.540 Yeah, well,

01:17:52.880 I mean,

01:17:53.240 there's still a certain

01:17:53.920 amount of that.

01:17:56.360 I mean,

01:17:57.620 there's,

01:17:58.400 it's not like

01:18:00.640 it was during

01:18:01.600 the Confederacy,

01:18:02.560 obviously,

01:18:02.900 but there's still

01:18:03.520 a certain amount

01:18:04.160 of local sovereignty

01:18:06.240 and local control

01:18:07.720 and state control.

01:18:09.500 the states have

01:18:10.800 certain rights.

01:18:12.480 Yes,

01:18:12.800 federal law supersedes

01:18:14.420 that in some cases,

01:18:15.440 although I'm not sure

01:18:16.720 that's the right word

01:18:17.500 for it,

01:18:17.960 but,

01:18:18.240 you know,

01:18:20.700 like,

01:18:21.360 for instance,

01:18:22.700 the marijuana laws

01:18:24.180 that people are passing

01:18:25.500 in Colorado

01:18:26.320 and California

01:18:27.160 and Oregon,

01:18:28.200 there's a federal law

01:18:29.300 against smoking marijuana,

01:18:32.380 buying,

01:18:33.360 selling marijuana.

01:18:34.500 Well,

01:18:34.740 those states

01:18:35.460 have declared it legal

01:18:37.700 and nothing's been done

01:18:39.360 about it.

01:18:41.000 Is that not

01:18:41.940 state sovereignty?

01:18:43.440 Yeah,

01:18:44.140 there is still

01:18:45.060 a spark of,

01:18:45.980 still a spark

01:18:47.380 of the old

01:18:47.940 Constitution out there.

01:18:49.460 Yeah.

01:18:49.940 But,

01:18:50.300 I'm just saying,

01:18:51.820 you know,

01:18:52.080 but it changed the way,

01:18:53.440 you know,

01:18:53.660 the South,

01:18:54.220 we view ourselves,

01:18:55.300 you know,

01:18:55.580 we did suffer

01:18:58.100 from a war

01:18:59.420 and defeat

01:19:00.180 and things like that.

01:19:01.600 Yeah.

01:19:01.800 I think,

01:19:02.700 because people

01:19:03.980 don't look at it

01:19:06.120 that way,

01:19:06.640 a lot of times

01:19:07.380 it's not taught

01:19:08.260 that way.

01:19:09.860 Not anymore,

01:19:10.780 it's not,

01:19:11.240 that's for sure.

01:19:11.960 Well,

01:19:12.220 and in some,

01:19:13.100 the war really was.

01:19:14.600 With good reason

01:19:15.600 in some cases,

01:19:16.220 it did end slavery,

01:19:17.960 which,

01:19:18.440 if that changed

01:19:19.180 the perception

01:19:19.660 of the South,

01:19:20.500 so be it.

01:19:21.620 Because the perception

01:19:22.580 of the South

01:19:23.140 was that they were

01:19:23.820 slave states.

01:19:25.260 Hopefully,

01:19:25.860 you wouldn't want

01:19:26.220 to return to that.

01:19:27.800 Right?

01:19:28.100 No,

01:19:28.300 no,

01:19:28.560 that wasn't

01:19:29.140 the cause of the war,

01:19:30.320 that was an issue.

01:19:30.940 It actually was.

01:19:32.020 It actually was.

01:19:33.120 It was economics

01:19:34.120 and slavery could have

01:19:36.540 been ended

01:19:36.980 like it did

01:19:37.700 in the British Empire.

01:19:40.440 Well,

01:19:40.500 it could have been,

01:19:41.060 but it didn't

01:19:41.840 because it kept going on

01:19:43.700 and because the South,

01:19:44.640 the South insisted

01:19:46.560 on slavery

01:19:47.540 to the extent

01:19:48.180 that they withdrew

01:19:49.000 from the Union.

01:19:50.640 I don't know how else

01:19:51.640 you could have ended slavery.

01:19:53.180 It ended 30 years

01:19:54.600 prior to that

01:19:55.340 in Britain.

01:19:56.220 It wasn't headed

01:19:57.460 in that direction here.

01:19:58.600 You know,

01:20:01.240 I know for a fact

01:20:02.220 that Tennessee

01:20:02.720 didn't secede

01:20:04.060 for slavery.

01:20:05.060 We seceded

01:20:05.820 because we're

01:20:06.600 going to be invaded.

01:20:08.460 And if you look at it,

01:20:09.620 Well,

01:20:09.780 you wouldn't have been invaded

01:20:10.620 if you didn't,

01:20:11.720 you wouldn't have been invaded

01:20:12.640 if it didn't secede.

01:20:14.760 They would have a war 0.97

01:20:15.940 in Virginia,

01:20:17.560 North Carolina,

01:20:18.460 Tennessee,

01:20:19.020 Arkansas,

01:20:19.620 they wouldn't have seceded.

01:20:22.800 But anyway,

01:20:23.960 I just want to make that comment.

01:20:25.780 All right.

01:20:26.080 Thanks, Jeff.

01:20:26.680 Thank you very much.

01:20:27.760 A little disagreement,

01:20:28.400 there.

01:20:29.560 The Civil War

01:20:30.260 was definitely about slavery. 0.54

01:20:31.720 And don't let people

01:20:32.440 try to tell you.

01:20:32.680 And you've come around

01:20:33.080 to that, though.

01:20:33.700 Oh, yeah.

01:20:34.300 I've always believed that, though.

01:20:35.840 I've always believed that.

01:20:37.180 I think Glenn's come around

01:20:38.140 to that.

01:20:38.280 Okay.

01:20:38.520 That's.

01:20:42.540 Andrew in New York,

01:20:43.980 welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

01:20:46.700 Hey, Glenn.

01:20:47.340 How you doing?

01:20:48.360 It's Pat,

01:20:48.980 but I'm doing great.

01:20:50.940 Oh, man.

01:20:52.280 Yeah.

01:20:52.700 Go ahead.

01:20:53.620 I can't believe

01:20:54.940 everybody missed this.

01:20:56.260 The War of 1812.

01:20:57.380 What about it?

01:20:59.700 We declared war on Britain

01:21:01.160 because they wouldn't

01:21:01.780 leave our shipping alone,

01:21:03.040 and then we got our butts

01:21:04.240 kicked a little bit,

01:21:05.140 and then we sued for peace.

01:21:06.780 Got our butts kicked?

01:21:07.780 What?

01:21:08.440 We won that war.

01:21:09.720 What do you mean

01:21:10.040 we got our butts kicked?

01:21:10.860 Listen, if burning the Capitol

01:21:13.400 doesn't win you the war,

01:21:14.440 I don't know what does.

01:21:15.380 Well, it didn't win them the war.

01:21:16.560 No, it did not.

01:21:17.640 Despite the fact

01:21:18.480 that they burned the White House

01:21:19.600 to the ground,

01:21:20.320 it did not win them the war.

01:21:22.860 We absolutely won

01:21:24.100 the War of 1812.

01:21:25.420 Otherwise,

01:21:25.900 we'd be a British colony again.

01:21:28.460 I was mistaken.

01:21:29.720 I thought we sued them for peace

01:21:31.600 to see if we would be kind enough

01:21:33.460 to end the hostilities.

01:21:35.680 Yeah.

01:21:36.340 You know,

01:21:37.160 Britain was not kind enough

01:21:38.460 to do anything for us

01:21:39.480 in those days.

01:21:41.180 Thanks a lot, Andrew.

01:21:42.140 What is wrong with you people?

01:21:44.040 What is America?

01:21:45.780 I mean,

01:21:46.060 what are they teaching

01:21:46.780 in school today?

01:21:48.280 Is this where this is coming from?

01:21:50.340 I don't know.

01:21:51.020 Wow.

01:21:52.220 But we're America,

01:21:53.420 damn it.

01:21:53.920 There's a lot of people

01:21:54.740 who believe we lost

01:21:55.660 virtually every war

01:21:56.540 that's ever been fought.

01:21:57.600 Stop it.

01:21:59.640 Wow.

01:22:00.000 I'm taking back the tie

01:22:01.220 for Vietnam.

01:22:02.160 We won that too.

01:22:05.760 Brian in Tennessee,

01:22:07.100 welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

01:22:09.340 Hey,

01:22:09.960 how are you guys doing?

01:22:10.920 Doing good.

01:22:12.220 All right.

01:22:12.780 Well,

01:22:13.040 enjoying this climate change

01:22:14.380 down here in Tennessee.

01:22:15.580 Oh, yeah.

01:22:17.260 Anyway,

01:22:17.700 I wanted to talk about South Korea.

01:22:19.520 I spent a year over there

01:22:21.620 in the military in 83.

01:22:24.140 Our capabilities of knowing

01:22:26.620 what they're doing,

01:22:27.760 what they're moving,

01:22:28.520 and where it's at

01:22:30.300 is spot on.

01:22:32.460 If we did have to break out

01:22:34.780 and do a war over there,

01:22:36.560 I don't know what the situation

01:22:38.580 with our nuclear capabilities

01:22:41.020 over there.

01:22:41.680 I know Obama removed them

01:22:43.740 from South Korea.

01:22:44.580 I don't know if they've been

01:22:45.260 put back or not.

01:22:47.280 But we had the capability

01:22:49.380 of knocking their stuff out

01:22:50.680 and doing it pretty quick.

01:22:52.880 Now,

01:22:53.060 I know it still would be hard

01:22:54.280 on Seoul

01:22:54.920 with everything they got pointed at.

01:22:58.300 Seoul,

01:22:58.780 but we would do

01:23:00.380 a pretty good job

01:23:01.220 over there

01:23:02.240 cleaning out

01:23:04.120 the North's capability

01:23:05.920 of strike.

01:23:07.280 Yeah,

01:23:07.480 that's good to hear.

01:23:08.140 And you served

01:23:08.920 in Korea for a time?

01:23:11.140 Yes, sir.

01:23:11.860 How long were you there?

01:23:13.080 I was there

01:23:13.960 12 months.

01:23:15.620 Did you feel like

01:23:16.540 the people there

01:23:17.840 appreciated our presence?

01:23:19.900 Oh, my God, yeah.

01:23:21.420 Yeah.

01:23:22.300 South Korean people

01:23:23.380 are wonderful people.

01:23:24.520 I did,

01:23:26.920 when I was over there,

01:23:27.980 I got a chance

01:23:28.640 to talk to a colonel

01:23:31.280 that was there

01:23:32.000 during,

01:23:32.640 he was retired,

01:23:33.960 during their,

01:23:35.240 during the Korean War.

01:23:36.540 and I was stationed

01:23:38.300 at

01:23:38.740 Songtan Sea

01:23:42.660 and it,

01:23:44.800 Hill 180,

01:23:46.060 when they took that hill,

01:23:47.860 the North Koreans

01:23:48.760 had crucified

01:23:50.400 women and children

01:23:52.740 up the hill.

01:23:53.940 Our soldiers

01:23:54.580 had to fight up that hill

01:23:56.080 and literally

01:23:58.360 hand-to-hand

01:23:59.120 at the last point

01:23:59.980 of the battle

01:24:00.580 and jump in the, 0.83

01:24:02.320 jump in the trenches

01:24:03.520 and throw the, 1.00

01:24:04.740 grab the North Korean,

01:24:06.120 throw him down,

01:24:07.000 down the hill

01:24:07.800 for a buddy,

01:24:08.520 the buddies

01:24:09.140 to ban at.

01:24:10.600 That's how fierce

01:24:12.120 it was.

01:24:12.980 And,

01:24:13.260 the North Korean

01:24:14.860 soldiers,

01:24:15.920 they're just

01:24:16.740 heartless.

01:24:19.220 And,

01:24:19.960 they,

01:24:20.540 I mean,

01:24:20.860 they're,

01:24:21.260 they're a brutal

01:24:22.280 force

01:24:23.320 and,

01:24:24.100 should not be

01:24:25.840 just

01:24:26.380 kitted around with.

01:24:28.640 Yeah.

01:24:28.840 And,

01:24:29.600 and it hasn't changed.

01:24:31.260 When I was there,

01:24:32.020 the,

01:24:32.280 the leader at the time,

01:24:34.440 I think it was

01:24:35.080 Kim Hill's

01:24:36.420 granddad,

01:24:37.480 Kim Hill's,

01:24:38.020 yeah,

01:24:38.180 grandfather,

01:24:38.960 and his father

01:24:41.380 was head of the

01:24:42.700 North Korean

01:24:43.780 Special Forces

01:24:45.760 unit.

01:24:46.840 And,

01:24:47.900 we knew he was

01:24:48.840 a nut job

01:24:49.440 from the beginning.

01:24:50.560 And,

01:24:50.840 funny,

01:24:52.180 much less.

01:24:53.200 Yeah.

01:24:53.620 So,

01:24:53.920 it,

01:24:54.620 it's a,

01:24:55.140 it's a bad situation

01:24:56.660 there right now

01:24:57.620 and stuff.

01:24:58.140 And,

01:24:59.080 like I said,

01:24:59.720 I know President Obama

01:25:01.260 removed our nuclear

01:25:02.220 capability from

01:25:03.420 South Korea,

01:25:04.200 but I don't know

01:25:05.360 if Trump's reinstituted

01:25:06.560 it or not.

01:25:07.180 Do you guys know?

01:25:08.480 I,

01:25:08.780 I,

01:25:09.220 I don't.

01:25:09.900 I was just kind of

01:25:10.740 looking up.

01:25:11.340 Appreciate the call,

01:25:11.960 though,

01:25:12.060 and thanks for your

01:25:12.560 service,

01:25:12.940 Brian.

01:25:13.100 When you said that,

01:25:13.980 thank you,

01:25:14.420 I was thinking,

01:25:15.160 do we actually get

01:25:16.340 rid of them?

01:25:17.000 I remember talking

01:25:17.920 about them,

01:25:18.400 but what I can find out

01:25:19.720 is we did get rid

01:25:20.460 of the tactical nukes

01:25:21.920 out of South Korea

01:25:23.240 because.

01:25:23.640 Although,

01:25:23.680 we could still reach

01:25:24.500 North Korea with 0.91

01:25:25.320 submarines,

01:25:26.460 with missiles.

01:25:27.300 Right,

01:25:27.820 because they were

01:25:28.400 talking about some

01:25:29.180 of the,

01:25:29.620 some of the military

01:25:31.160 people from South

01:25:32.120 Korea were saying 0.66

01:25:32.760 that it might be

01:25:33.360 time for us to

01:25:34.100 bring back the

01:25:34.820 tactical nukes to

01:25:35.800 South Korea.

01:25:36.860 Yeah.

01:25:37.160 That has been this

01:25:38.300 earlier,

01:25:39.320 well,

01:25:39.740 2017,

01:25:40.200 last year.

01:25:41.560 But,

01:25:42.160 I don't believe

01:25:42.880 they have.

01:25:43.520 However,

01:25:44.180 you're right,

01:25:44.940 there's plenty of

01:25:45.720 nuclear power that

01:25:46.760 can hit them.

01:25:47.340 Plenty.

01:25:47.500 No problem.

01:25:48.060 Yeah.

01:25:48.620 888-727-BECK.

01:25:50.420 Glenn Beck.

01:26:02.380 Glenn Beck.

01:26:04.020 Pat and Jeffy for

01:26:04.940 Glenn,

01:26:05.200 888-727-BECK.

01:26:07.960 Big announcement

01:26:08.720 from Orrin Hatch

01:26:09.620 yesterday of Utah,

01:26:10.740 who's been in office

01:26:12.400 since just after the

01:26:13.600 War of 1812.

01:26:15.300 So,

01:26:15.960 he's got some

01:26:17.320 experience.

01:26:17.820 You'd call him a

01:26:18.920 seasoned senator,

01:26:20.260 I think,

01:26:21.120 at this point.

01:26:21.920 Yeah.

01:26:23.160 Season.

01:26:23.900 He's been in office

01:26:25.040 for a little over

01:26:25.860 190 years.

01:26:27.180 Right.

01:26:27.400 I mean,

01:26:27.600 I know he said

01:26:28.200 one of his statements,

01:26:29.180 I don't know if it

01:26:29.600 was his own little

01:26:31.040 Facebook live feed

01:26:32.200 or whatever it was,

01:26:33.000 but I know he was

01:26:33.580 bragging on how good

01:26:34.800 he's been over the

01:26:35.820 years and how he's

01:26:36.740 got the most

01:26:37.300 legislation and laws

01:26:39.060 passed.

01:26:40.200 I believe his

01:26:41.320 timeline was

01:26:43.300 living senator.

01:26:44.800 And I thought,

01:26:45.700 well,

01:26:46.220 so?

01:26:47.040 I mean,

01:26:47.320 you're the last

01:26:48.840 one alive since

01:26:49.840 the beginning of

01:26:50.360 the country.

01:26:51.140 Span the entirety

01:26:52.100 of the U.S.

01:26:52.980 Senate.

01:26:55.740 But I know,

01:26:56.840 you know,

01:26:57.040 he's,

01:26:57.340 look.

01:26:58.740 Somebody convinced

01:26:59.620 him in the last

01:27:00.180 few months to get

01:27:01.320 out.

01:27:01.760 And I don't know

01:27:02.360 who that was.

01:27:02.900 Maybe it was his 0.58

01:27:03.440 wife.

01:27:03.760 They said it was

01:27:04.220 his wife.

01:27:04.680 Reports were that

01:27:05.320 his wife was

01:27:05.880 saying,

01:27:06.320 this is it.

01:27:07.160 You don't need,

01:27:07.640 don't run again.

01:27:08.500 Be done.

01:27:08.980 I want word.

01:27:09.580 You know,

01:27:09.760 you're done.

01:27:10.360 Yeah.

01:27:10.940 And so,

01:27:11.600 you know,

01:27:11.860 I guess,

01:27:12.580 I guess you have

01:27:13.040 to kind of

01:27:13.340 guys at 83

01:27:14.080 years old.

01:27:14.640 Yeah,

01:27:14.940 it's definitely

01:27:15.920 time.

01:27:17.320 And he's been

01:27:18.000 terrible for

01:27:19.820 most of his

01:27:22.120 senatorial.

01:27:22.580 We're talking

01:27:22.940 about Orrin Hatch.

01:27:23.860 Yeah,

01:27:24.080 we are.

01:27:24.680 I mean,

01:27:25.060 the senator from

01:27:25.900 Utah is what we're

01:27:26.540 talking about,

01:27:26.960 right?

01:27:27.200 He's been terrible.

01:27:28.800 I don't know,

01:27:29.240 I'm talking about

01:27:29.840 Orrin Hatch,

01:27:30.360 the guy that's

01:27:30.780 been in office

01:27:31.380 for 40 years.

01:27:32.420 The guy who

01:27:32.760 reminds me of,

01:27:34.060 I don't know,

01:27:34.840 John McCain,

01:27:35.780 perhaps,

01:27:36.600 that sort of

01:27:38.440 politician.

01:27:40.000 It's just,

01:27:40.740 it's,

01:27:41.160 it's sad that

01:27:42.920 we're just,

01:27:43.620 we get comfortable

01:27:44.400 with people and

01:27:45.080 we just allow

01:27:45.740 them to stay

01:27:46.280 in office forever.

01:27:47.320 That goes back

01:27:47.960 to the term

01:27:48.420 limits chat we

01:27:49.180 had yesterday.

01:27:50.060 Man,

01:27:50.260 it's the same

01:27:50.780 thing.

01:27:51.300 It's the thing

01:27:52.020 like the term

01:27:53.260 limits are the

01:27:53.820 voters,

01:27:54.360 but again,

01:27:56.000 using that,

01:27:56.720 that's almost

01:27:57.320 kind of what it

01:27:57.940 is really,

01:27:58.460 is the complacency

01:27:59.500 of whatever.

01:28:01.040 I know he's

01:28:01.440 already there.

01:28:02.140 And I don't

01:28:02.460 know the other

01:28:02.920 guy.

01:28:03.360 And I don't

01:28:04.180 want to lose

01:28:04.580 any of the

01:28:04.940 power that we

01:28:05.860 wield because

01:28:06.840 he's been there

01:28:07.460 for so long.

01:28:08.420 Right.

01:28:08.960 That's what

01:28:09.240 happens.

01:28:10.500 President Trump

01:28:11.180 tried to convince

01:28:11.760 him to stay.

01:28:12.920 He wanted him

01:28:13.320 around for years

01:28:14.000 to come because

01:28:14.540 Hatch has been

01:28:15.660 a very big

01:28:16.500 supporter.

01:28:16.900 Big proponent of

01:28:17.440 Donald.

01:28:17.900 Big.

01:28:18.560 And so he's

01:28:20.400 not going to

01:28:20.660 have that.

01:28:21.620 And that's why

01:28:22.740 it's a huge deal

01:28:23.820 to Donald Trump

01:28:24.540 that Mitt Romney

01:28:25.960 might run because

01:28:26.720 Romney's not a

01:28:27.440 fan.

01:28:27.720 I know.

01:28:28.340 So that'll be

01:28:29.140 interesting to watch.

01:28:30.140 first of all to

01:28:31.280 see if Mitt

01:28:32.440 runs.

01:28:33.340 I expect him

01:28:34.240 to.

01:28:34.600 I know you

01:28:35.360 say you expect

01:28:36.000 him to.

01:28:36.460 I don't.

01:28:37.540 I think he

01:28:37.960 will.

01:28:38.260 He's 70 years

01:28:39.060 old now.

01:28:39.480 He's already

01:28:39.780 said he would

01:28:40.400 consider it

01:28:40.960 strongly if

01:28:41.940 Hatch stepped

01:28:42.980 down.

01:28:43.860 And at the

01:28:44.240 time it looked

01:28:44.820 like he wasn't

01:28:45.380 going to.

01:28:46.140 But now he

01:28:46.560 has.

01:28:47.420 So we'll see.

01:28:49.040 We'll see.

01:28:49.880 And our boy

01:28:50.380 quit altogether.

01:28:51.340 Right.

01:28:51.680 He's just Mr.

01:28:52.300 TV star.

01:28:53.000 Now the guy

01:28:53.620 that was that

01:28:55.420 was the congressman

01:28:56.240 that was yeah.

01:28:57.420 Yeah.

01:28:57.600 Yeah.

01:28:57.740 He's just done

01:28:58.380 right.

01:28:58.700 It's over.

01:28:59.140 Yeah.

01:28:59.660 He hurt his

01:29:00.260 foot and had a

01:29:01.180 surgery and quit

01:29:02.220 the congress.

01:29:02.820 Yeah.

01:29:03.180 So I don't know

01:29:04.100 if he would

01:29:04.560 consider getting

01:29:05.260 back into it

01:29:06.000 and running for

01:29:07.160 the office again.

01:29:08.500 He might be a

01:29:09.280 possibility for that

01:29:10.960 opening.

01:29:12.020 He's comfortable

01:29:13.100 enough with the

01:29:13.740 state and familiar

01:29:14.400 enough name wise.

01:29:15.560 Yeah.

01:29:16.700 Yeah.

01:29:17.180 So it'll be

01:29:17.960 interesting to see.

01:29:19.420 I know that the

01:29:21.300 president and in

01:29:22.640 the entire Trump

01:29:23.480 camp is not excited

01:29:24.880 about that possibility

01:29:25.940 but they may have

01:29:27.100 to face it anyway.

01:29:28.520 Could be a

01:29:28.980 Senator Romney

01:29:29.660 soon.

01:29:30.180 We'll find out

01:29:30.840 because he's

01:29:32.160 going to have

01:29:32.460 to declare

01:29:32.840 pretty soon.

01:29:34.060 The election

01:29:34.680 is this year.

01:29:35.280 He wants to be

01:29:35.380 a senator.

01:29:35.920 November.

01:29:36.700 I don't know.

01:29:37.000 I don't know.

01:29:38.320 We'll see.

01:29:39.540 Triple eight.

01:29:40.360 It's a good gig.

01:29:41.440 It's a good gig

01:29:42.080 but he's 70 now.

01:29:43.460 Does he need it?

01:29:44.180 It's only 13 years

01:29:44.980 younger than Hatch.

01:29:45.880 I know.

01:29:46.320 Does he?

01:29:46.540 He doesn't need it.

01:29:47.720 He doesn't need

01:29:48.180 to be that.

01:29:49.200 Yeah.

01:29:49.480 Need I don't

01:29:49.940 think figures in.

01:29:51.200 Do you want it?

01:29:52.760 That's the question.

01:29:53.920 We'll see.

01:29:54.360 We'll see.

01:29:54.420 We'll see.

01:29:56.360 We'll see.

01:29:58.360 Glenn Beck.

01:30:13.040 This is the

01:30:13.940 Glenn Beck program.

01:30:15.360 With Pat and Jeffy

01:30:16.040 this week.

01:30:17.300 Say what you will

01:30:18.100 about the

01:30:18.980 President Trump

01:30:19.880 tweets.

01:30:20.340 North Korea

01:30:23.400 just reopened

01:30:24.240 their border

01:30:24.880 hotline

01:30:25.400 with South

01:30:26.200 Korea.

01:30:28.220 Does that

01:30:28.780 mean something's

01:30:29.960 working?

01:30:30.960 Kind of seems

01:30:31.620 like it.

01:30:31.960 Sure does.

01:30:33.400 I mean yeah

01:30:33.720 it's been tense

01:30:34.820 over the last

01:30:36.200 six or eight

01:30:36.640 months

01:30:36.920 and everybody

01:30:38.700 was wondering

01:30:39.380 was this the

01:30:39.920 right thing to

01:30:40.340 do?

01:30:40.600 You just

01:30:40.860 really ratcheted

01:30:41.540 up the heat

01:30:42.140 but now it

01:30:42.680 seems to have

01:30:43.140 cooled off.

01:30:44.980 Things seem to

01:30:46.040 be maybe even

01:30:46.840 improving somewhat.

01:30:48.260 But all

01:30:49.660 of a sudden

01:30:50.120 North Korea

01:30:50.820 is making

01:30:51.220 these gestures

01:30:52.680 to South

01:30:53.260 Korea.

01:30:53.800 They're

01:30:54.200 reopening the

01:30:55.320 border hotline

01:30:55.960 with the

01:30:56.280 South.

01:30:56.580 They just

01:30:56.840 did that

01:30:57.160 today.

01:30:57.760 They already

01:30:58.420 tested it.

01:30:59.140 It apparently

01:30:59.640 works.

01:31:00.420 It's open

01:31:00.940 again.

01:31:01.900 They've also

01:31:02.720 extended an

01:31:04.120 olive branch

01:31:04.640 to the

01:31:05.100 Olympic Games

01:31:05.880 that are going

01:31:06.460 to be held

01:31:06.800 in South

01:31:07.140 Korea next 0.96

01:31:07.620 month.

01:31:08.920 They've also

01:31:09.160 won Olympics

01:31:09.600 next month

01:31:10.200 man.

01:31:10.600 Yeah.

01:31:11.420 Yeah.

01:31:11.720 So there

01:31:14.260 was talk

01:31:14.860 by Nikki

01:31:16.440 Haley that

01:31:17.000 we might

01:31:17.360 not even

01:31:17.700 go because

01:31:18.560 the tensions

01:31:19.020 were so

01:31:19.520 high.

01:31:20.100 Yeah, that's

01:31:21.500 pretty much

01:31:21.940 done.

01:31:22.520 That's over.

01:31:23.640 We're definitely

01:31:24.040 going and

01:31:25.920 North Korea

01:31:26.660 has basically

01:31:27.440 promised not

01:31:28.380 to do

01:31:28.680 anything.

01:31:30.080 You've got to

01:31:30.880 believe that

01:31:31.240 it had

01:31:31.660 definitely

01:31:32.480 something to

01:31:32.940 do with

01:31:33.200 Trump's

01:31:33.540 big stick.

01:31:34.900 Look, we're

01:31:35.700 bigger.

01:31:36.420 Have a nice

01:31:36.740 day.

01:31:37.500 Right.

01:31:38.800 You know,

01:31:39.560 and I

01:31:40.220 said it's

01:31:41.000 reminiscent of

01:31:41.820 the my

01:31:42.520 dog's bigger

01:31:43.140 than your

01:31:43.540 dog kettle

01:31:44.180 ratio

01:31:44.560 campaign.

01:31:46.280 My dog's

01:31:47.280 bigger than

01:31:47.860 your dog.

01:31:49.120 My dog's

01:31:49.960 faster than

01:31:50.560 yours.

01:31:52.040 My button's

01:31:53.100 bigger than

01:31:53.520 your button.

01:31:54.080 That's classic.

01:31:54.840 My button's

01:31:55.380 bigger than

01:31:56.000 yours.

01:31:57.620 Did it work?

01:31:59.080 I kind of

01:31:59.580 think it did.

01:32:00.280 It looks like

01:32:00.500 it.

01:32:01.180 Kind of feels

01:32:01.740 like it did.

01:32:03.100 727.

01:32:04.460 It's

01:32:04.940 1

01:32:05.500 888

01:32:07.300 727

01:32:08.040 back.

01:32:08.440 Let's go

01:32:09.200 to Elizabeth.

01:32:10.860 800?

01:32:11.980 No, it's

01:32:12.720 888.

01:32:13.340 Hey, Elizabeth.

01:32:14.140 Welcome.

01:32:14.980 Hi, Pat and

01:32:15.820 Jeffy.

01:32:16.180 I'm happy to

01:32:16.780 talk to you.

01:32:17.900 You too.

01:32:18.720 I just

01:32:19.320 wanted to

01:32:20.300 call because,

01:32:21.320 well, first of

01:32:21.920 all, I really

01:32:22.420 have to commend

01:32:23.200 you and

01:32:24.100 Jeffy on

01:32:24.840 your attitude

01:32:25.980 change about

01:32:27.520 Trump.

01:32:28.100 I was never

01:32:28.760 a Trumper 0.97

01:32:29.300 primary and

01:32:30.960 also in the

01:32:32.880 general election.

01:32:35.040 That was a

01:32:35.420 tough time,

01:32:36.020 man.

01:32:36.200 Those are

01:32:36.480 tough times.

01:32:36.840 For your

01:32:37.060 life.

01:32:37.440 It was.

01:32:39.180 I started

01:32:40.100 out just

01:32:40.660 because the

01:32:41.180 media and

01:32:41.700 the people

01:32:42.580 in Washington

01:32:43.100 were so

01:32:43.600 atrocious,

01:32:44.240 I just

01:32:44.520 started out

01:32:45.020 feeling I

01:32:45.720 had to

01:32:46.040 defend him.

01:32:47.740 Yes, thank

01:32:48.560 you.

01:32:49.260 But there's

01:32:51.260 one thing I

01:32:51.800 have to

01:32:52.120 disagree with

01:32:52.880 you on.

01:32:53.660 Okay.

01:32:54.660 I love

01:32:55.580 the tweets.

01:32:56.440 I absolutely

01:32:57.020 love the

01:32:58.000 tweets.

01:32:59.040 I'm like a

01:32:59.620 kid at

01:33:00.420 Christmas waiting

01:33:01.240 for Santa.

01:33:02.320 What are you

01:33:02.800 going to bring

01:33:03.240 me this time?

01:33:04.200 Are you?

01:33:04.720 You're

01:33:05.180 definitely not

01:33:05.700 alone.

01:33:06.300 Christmas

01:33:06.740 comes every

01:33:07.360 day for

01:33:07.780 you then

01:33:08.200 because those

01:33:08.740 tweets are

01:33:09.180 nonstop.

01:33:10.080 I was

01:33:10.480 concerned this

01:33:12.300 morning.

01:33:12.840 I was

01:33:13.080 filling in

01:33:14.740 for Doc

01:33:15.060 Thompson on

01:33:15.540 the morning

01:33:15.820 show on

01:33:16.200 the Blaze

01:33:16.500 Radio Network

01:33:17.160 and President

01:33:18.480 Trump didn't

01:33:19.040 tweet all

01:33:19.380 morning.

01:33:20.300 I thought he

01:33:21.180 lost his

01:33:21.660 phone.

01:33:21.980 I thought

01:33:22.180 we had to

01:33:22.520 send some

01:33:22.960 help into

01:33:23.800 the White

01:33:24.120 House.

01:33:24.780 Fortunately,

01:33:25.380 he found it.

01:33:26.640 Something happened.

01:33:27.180 I know it's

01:33:28.960 like he's

01:33:29.380 always pulling

01:33:29.900 people's

01:33:30.460 chains.

01:33:31.060 He's got a

01:33:32.260 quirky sense

01:33:33.660 of mischief

01:33:34.680 that comes

01:33:35.220 through there.

01:33:36.960 And don't

01:33:37.880 get me wrong,

01:33:38.540 I pray every

01:33:39.600 single day

01:33:40.460 for Donald

01:33:41.580 Trump,

01:33:42.080 for God to

01:33:42.700 give him

01:33:43.080 wisdom,

01:33:44.040 because sometimes

01:33:44.820 the tweets

01:33:46.360 go a little

01:33:47.220 far.

01:33:48.240 But can you

01:33:49.100 imagine if

01:33:50.140 Solomon tweeted

01:33:51.120 like,

01:33:52.220 okay,

01:33:52.760 you broad,

01:33:53.320 stop squabbling,

01:33:54.340 I've got a

01:33:54.780 big sword.

01:33:55.380 I mean,

01:33:57.060 I don't know

01:33:57.460 if he would

01:33:57.820 do that.

01:33:58.940 I don't know

01:33:59.680 either.

01:34:00.500 There was a

01:34:01.100 lot of wisdom

01:34:01.500 there with

01:34:01.880 that guy.

01:34:05.100 I've been

01:34:05.620 proud now to

01:34:06.300 call him my

01:34:06.860 president.

01:34:07.460 I never

01:34:07.940 thought I

01:34:08.440 would be.

01:34:10.060 And of

01:34:11.280 course,

01:34:11.620 there's also,

01:34:12.540 we don't have

01:34:13.600 to see

01:34:13.980 Barack and

01:34:14.760 Michelle in

01:34:16.100 the White House

01:34:17.080 all the time.

01:34:18.520 Thank Kevin for

01:34:19.120 that.

01:34:19.760 He gets a lot

01:34:20.600 of points for

01:34:21.180 that.

01:34:21.580 Yes,

01:34:21.840 he does.

01:34:22.500 Thanks a lot,

01:34:23.140 Elizabeth.

01:34:23.520 Appreciate it.

01:34:24.080 That's for

01:34:25.780 sure.

01:34:26.620 I mean,

01:34:27.180 people do

01:34:27.820 love it.

01:34:28.840 Again,

01:34:29.480 it's why I

01:34:30.140 think it's one

01:34:30.580 of the reasons

01:34:30.980 he was elected.

01:34:31.780 They just

01:34:32.200 like somebody

01:34:32.960 speaking their

01:34:33.480 mind,

01:34:33.800 somebody defending

01:34:34.500 themselves and

01:34:35.260 the Republican

01:34:36.000 Party and the

01:34:37.420 values that the

01:34:39.220 right has and

01:34:40.920 not taking crap

01:34:41.960 from them anymore.

01:34:43.600 That's most

01:34:44.220 important.

01:34:44.520 There's a lot to

01:34:44.840 be said for that.

01:34:45.500 There sure is.

01:34:46.140 There sure is.

01:34:47.220 There's a lot to

01:34:47.780 be said for that

01:34:50.120 and how America

01:34:53.420 sees America.

01:34:55.260 I mean,

01:34:55.420 you see with

01:34:55.960 our callers

01:34:56.380 today,

01:34:56.700 I mean,

01:34:56.840 how many times

01:34:57.320 we lost.

01:34:58.380 We've got we

01:34:59.440 have somebody

01:35:00.140 who's not

01:35:00.620 apologizing for

01:35:01.580 everything we've

01:35:02.200 done.

01:35:03.200 We've got

01:35:03.800 somebody who

01:35:04.320 has said

01:35:04.700 America first.

01:35:06.120 I mean,

01:35:06.700 we all respond

01:35:07.460 to that.

01:35:08.200 Kidding.

01:35:08.920 Except for

01:35:09.200 the left.

01:35:10.380 They seem to

01:35:11.360 respond better

01:35:12.020 to America

01:35:12.620 in the middle

01:35:13.740 or maybe down

01:35:14.840 near the bottom.

01:35:15.560 That's what

01:35:16.100 they want.

01:35:16.840 That's what

01:35:17.320 they want.

01:35:17.560 Kind of the

01:35:17.940 plan,

01:35:18.340 right?

01:35:18.620 They want us

01:35:19.020 brought down

01:35:19.560 to size.

01:35:20.220 Some of the

01:35:20.460 plan was that

01:35:21.280 we can't

01:35:23.400 bring up

01:35:24.180 some of

01:35:24.840 the weaker

01:35:26.020 countries as

01:35:27.240 high as the

01:35:27.880 U.S.,

01:35:28.220 so we've got

01:35:28.700 to bring some

01:35:29.220 of the U.S.

01:35:29.700 down.

01:35:30.240 Now,

01:35:30.420 they never

01:35:30.800 admitted that,

01:35:31.620 but that's

01:35:31.940 obviously the

01:35:32.500 strategy.

01:35:33.960 David in

01:35:34.580 New York,

01:35:35.560 welcome to

01:35:35.980 the Glenn Beck

01:35:36.360 program.

01:35:37.800 Hi there,

01:35:38.440 Pat.

01:35:38.800 I wanted to

01:35:40.280 point out that

01:35:41.080 you said one

01:35:41.640 of your pet

01:35:42.120 peeves is when

01:35:43.120 people say we

01:35:43.680 have a democracy

01:35:44.360 instead of a

01:35:45.060 republic.

01:35:45.620 Yeah.

01:35:46.520 And one of

01:35:47.100 my pet peeves

01:35:47.680 is when people

01:35:48.280 call things wars

01:35:49.260 that aren't

01:35:49.640 actually wars

01:35:50.460 because we've

01:35:51.320 only had about

01:35:51.860 declarations of

01:35:53.420 war in history.

01:35:55.500 That is true.

01:35:56.660 That is true.

01:35:57.180 We've only declared

01:35:58.100 war about six

01:35:58.860 times.

01:35:59.400 The Revolution,

01:36:00.520 War of 1812,

01:36:02.140 Mexican-American,

01:36:03.240 Spanish-American,

01:36:04.520 and World War I.

01:36:06.000 Right,

01:36:06.660 but it's hard to

01:36:07.700 say the Vietnam 0.58

01:36:09.700 police action all

01:36:11.640 the time.

01:36:11.860 Or Vietnam 0.89

01:36:12.360 armed conflict.

01:36:13.260 Or the armed

01:36:13.880 conflict,

01:36:14.780 yes.

01:36:15.720 Yes.

01:36:16.140 So people shorten

01:36:17.220 that a little bit,

01:36:17.880 but you're right,

01:36:18.340 it's technically

01:36:18.960 not correct.

01:36:20.760 So you can't

01:36:21.680 really lose a war

01:36:22.740 if it wasn't a

01:36:23.480 war,

01:36:23.860 can you?

01:36:24.420 No,

01:36:24.800 you can't.

01:36:25.800 No.

01:36:26.360 I noticed you

01:36:27.900 didn't mention

01:36:28.600 Urgent Fury.

01:36:30.160 Yeah.

01:36:31.140 Okay.

01:36:31.840 The Island of

01:36:32.860 Spice,

01:36:33.740 Grenada.

01:36:34.740 I mean,

01:36:35.020 thanks for your

01:36:35.520 call, Dave.

01:36:35.920 Near and dear

01:36:36.420 to Jeffy's

01:36:37.300 heart.

01:36:37.840 Thanks a lot,

01:36:38.320 David.

01:36:40.860 No,

01:36:41.200 that was not

01:36:41.780 called a war.

01:36:42.420 That was not

01:36:42.820 declared either,

01:36:43.600 right?

01:36:44.440 I mean,

01:36:45.080 having been such

01:36:45.960 an integral part

01:36:47.340 of that.

01:36:48.600 Surely you

01:36:49.220 know that.

01:36:50.120 All I know

01:36:50.560 is we went to

01:36:51.040 battle and we

01:36:51.580 won one for the

01:36:52.360 four days of

01:36:53.120 hell.

01:36:53.520 Yeah.

01:36:54.880 Don't.

01:36:55.740 What?

01:36:57.020 I'm just

01:36:57.600 admitting that

01:36:59.180 it was four

01:36:59.860 days of hell

01:37:00.400 for you.

01:37:00.860 It was.

01:37:02.520 Ron in

01:37:03.080 Pennsylvania,

01:37:03.900 you're on the

01:37:04.480 Glenn Beck

01:37:04.760 program.

01:37:05.180 Hi.

01:37:05.720 Hi, guys.

01:37:06.440 Hey, thanks

01:37:06.780 for all you

01:37:07.100 do.

01:37:07.620 Just a quick

01:37:08.200 point.

01:37:09.860 You know,

01:37:10.500 Kim Jong-un

01:37:11.140 is a bully

01:37:11.880 and Donald

01:37:12.660 Trump is the

01:37:13.240 type of guy

01:37:13.880 to me that

01:37:15.180 wasn't pushed

01:37:16.160 around as a

01:37:16.740 kid.

01:37:17.480 I mean,

01:37:17.640 you look at

01:37:18.120 I'd love to

01:37:19.140 ask Barack

01:37:19.660 Obama if he

01:37:20.420 ever got in a

01:37:21.120 fight as a

01:37:21.680 kid because I

01:37:22.520 bet he just

01:37:23.080 stood there and

01:37:23.640 let the bullies 1.00

01:37:24.260 push him down

01:37:25.040 and punch him

01:37:25.620 in the face,

01:37:26.500 walk the other

01:37:27.040 way.

01:37:27.420 And now we

01:37:27.800 got a guy

01:37:28.260 that's not

01:37:28.680 bending down,

01:37:29.960 bowing to

01:37:30.640 leaders.

01:37:31.440 And this guy's

01:37:32.260 a global boy

01:37:33.080 and Trump's

01:37:33.700 just not going

01:37:34.120 to put up

01:37:34.560 with it.

01:37:35.160 Yeah.

01:37:35.400 So that's

01:37:36.960 what I got

01:37:37.380 to say.

01:37:37.960 Appreciate it.

01:37:38.360 Thanks.

01:37:38.720 That certainly

01:37:39.100 is the perception

01:37:39.800 of Donald

01:37:40.280 Trump and

01:37:41.060 good.

01:37:43.000 Good.

01:37:44.120 That's what

01:37:44.460 got him

01:37:44.720 elected.

01:37:45.380 And yes,

01:37:46.160 and Americans

01:37:47.300 are responding

01:37:47.880 to it because

01:37:48.720 we've been

01:37:49.360 pushed around

01:37:50.180 for so long.

01:37:51.880 and the

01:37:52.620 mainstream media

01:37:53.600 has had

01:37:54.500 free reign

01:37:56.500 of saying

01:37:57.860 whatever they

01:37:58.380 want without

01:37:59.040 any retaliation

01:38:00.120 against them.

01:38:00.780 Well, that's

01:38:01.120 not the case

01:38:01.640 anymore.

01:38:02.100 That's correct.

01:38:03.020 And they don't

01:38:03.360 like it.

01:38:03.920 No, they do

01:38:04.600 not.

01:38:05.400 How dare you

01:38:06.440 respond to

01:38:07.160 something we've

01:38:07.700 said?

01:38:08.200 You can't

01:38:08.740 respond to

01:38:09.360 what we've

01:38:09.760 said.

01:38:10.560 Well, yes,

01:38:11.400 we can.

01:38:12.300 And he does.

01:38:13.100 And he's not

01:38:13.660 going to play

01:38:13.980 that game where

01:38:15.380 he allows them

01:38:17.020 to set the

01:38:18.160 tone every day.

01:38:18.820 he sets the

01:38:20.440 tone every

01:38:21.520 day as he

01:38:23.620 as he as

01:38:24.920 he did

01:38:25.160 yesterday with

01:38:25.880 the with the

01:38:26.560 big button

01:38:27.020 thing.

01:38:27.480 And they've

01:38:27.680 got to be

01:38:27.980 loving because

01:38:28.520 he announced

01:38:29.260 also yesterday

01:38:30.160 that he's

01:38:30.560 going to have

01:38:31.260 the most

01:38:31.660 dishonest and

01:38:32.560 corrupt media

01:38:33.420 awards next

01:38:34.260 week.

01:38:36.280 It's going to

01:38:37.000 be fun to

01:38:37.400 watch.

01:38:37.760 Oh, my

01:38:38.160 gosh.

01:38:38.640 And they're

01:38:38.840 going to have

01:38:39.180 they're going

01:38:39.480 to be apoplectic

01:38:40.540 about that.

01:38:40.960 They're going

01:38:41.380 to lose their

01:38:43.140 minds.

01:38:44.680 I will be

01:38:44.920 announcing the

01:38:45.440 most dishonest

01:38:46.140 and corrupt

01:38:46.580 media awards

01:38:47.320 of the year

01:38:47.760 on Monday

01:38:48.260 at five o'clock.

01:38:49.660 Subjects will

01:38:50.220 cover dishonesty

01:38:51.360 and bad

01:38:51.900 reporting in

01:38:52.700 various categories

01:38:53.720 from the fake

01:38:54.720 news media.

01:38:55.960 Stay tuned.

01:38:57.080 Is he just so

01:38:57.740 he's tweeting

01:38:58.240 it?

01:38:58.820 Is that going

01:38:59.440 to be a series

01:38:59.960 of tweets as

01:39:00.680 well?

01:39:01.140 It already has

01:39:01.940 been.

01:39:02.260 He tweeted

01:39:02.640 that yesterday.

01:39:04.620 Tony in

01:39:05.260 Arkansas,

01:39:06.400 you're on the

01:39:07.140 Glenn Beck

01:39:08.200 program.

01:39:08.860 Hi, Pat.

01:39:09.620 I just want

01:39:11.000 to say real

01:39:11.500 quick that I

01:39:12.820 ain't really

01:39:13.140 too worried

01:39:13.600 about North

01:39:14.080 Korea because 1.00

01:39:14.940 the Ohio

01:39:15.780 class can

01:39:16.400 drop 192

01:39:17.360 warheads on

01:39:18.060 them.

01:39:19.340 But right

01:39:21.240 now they're

01:39:21.660 in a building

01:39:22.180 stage and if

01:39:23.300 we don't do

01:39:23.860 something about

01:39:24.420 it, they're

01:39:26.680 going to get

01:39:27.320 so massive

01:39:28.200 that it's

01:39:29.080 going to do

01:39:29.460 a lot of

01:39:29.800 damage before

01:39:30.320 we can

01:39:30.660 stop them

01:39:31.200 because they've

01:39:32.540 already broke

01:39:33.100 the armistice

01:39:33.800 this year.

01:39:35.780 I don't

01:39:36.080 remember what

01:39:36.640 was in the

01:39:37.080 armistice,

01:39:37.720 but I'm

01:39:39.340 pretty sure

01:39:39.840 that them

01:39:41.440 having nukes

01:39:42.060 also broke

01:39:43.040 it, but

01:39:43.640 I'm not

01:39:44.820 sure on

01:39:45.220 that point.

01:39:46.400 But I

01:39:47.340 also wanted

01:39:47.800 to say real

01:39:48.260 quick that

01:39:48.820 Steve Bannon

01:39:49.760 needs to

01:39:50.620 learn the

01:39:50.980 meaning of

01:39:51.400 traitors because

01:39:53.360 we're not at

01:39:55.440 war with

01:39:55.860 Russia, so 0.96

01:39:56.660 anybody can

01:39:57.300 talk to a

01:39:57.800 Russian right 0.83

01:39:58.300 now.

01:39:58.920 Yeah.

01:39:59.280 Not a

01:39:59.920 traitor.

01:40:00.560 Yeah.

01:40:01.440 Appreciate it.

01:40:02.160 Thanks a lot,

01:40:02.560 Tony.

01:40:02.840 And there's

01:40:03.620 been no

01:40:03.960 collusion

01:40:04.420 proven.

01:40:05.580 There's a

01:40:06.220 lot of

01:40:07.040 accusations.

01:40:09.920 There's

01:40:10.680 been no

01:40:11.040 proof yet.

01:40:12.560 Also, we

01:40:13.840 have another

01:40:14.740 person who's

01:40:15.480 just been

01:40:15.820 fired for

01:40:16.920 sexual harassment

01:40:17.840 supposedly,

01:40:18.640 right?

01:40:18.860 This was in

01:40:19.620 the college

01:40:20.320 football world.

01:40:21.980 Yeah.

01:40:22.340 University of

01:40:22.960 Arizona.

01:40:23.760 Rich Rodriguez.

01:40:24.740 Yeah.

01:40:25.160 Who came to

01:40:26.280 fame, I think,

01:40:26.960 at West

01:40:27.260 Virginia, right?

01:40:28.000 And then he

01:40:28.400 went to

01:40:29.200 Michigan.

01:40:29.720 Then he

01:40:29.900 went to

01:40:30.140 Michigan.

01:40:30.660 Didn't last

01:40:31.180 long there.

01:40:31.740 Went to

01:40:32.100 Arizona.

01:40:32.800 Now he's

01:40:33.180 been fired

01:40:33.580 from Arizona

01:40:34.280 for some

01:40:35.160 allegation,

01:40:35.680 which they

01:40:36.080 investigated

01:40:36.780 and then

01:40:38.360 basically said,

01:40:39.880 yeah, we

01:40:40.120 didn't find

01:40:40.540 anything.

01:40:40.700 This person

01:40:41.100 who used

01:40:41.380 to work

01:40:41.640 for him

01:40:41.880 was a

01:40:42.740 hostile

01:40:43.340 workplace

01:40:44.100 claim and

01:40:44.940 she alleged

01:40:45.780 all this

01:40:46.560 stuff.

01:40:47.600 And the

01:40:48.160 only thing

01:40:48.500 that she

01:40:48.920 alleged that

01:40:49.500 he admitted

01:40:50.020 to, he

01:40:50.860 said everything

01:40:51.320 else was

01:40:51.740 wrong, was

01:40:52.380 an affair.

01:40:54.600 Was an

01:40:55.220 extramarital

01:40:55.740 affair.

01:40:56.480 And he

01:40:56.800 said he's

01:40:57.680 working that

01:40:58.140 out with

01:40:58.420 his wife.

01:40:59.180 Did she

01:40:59.360 admit that

01:40:59.760 was a

01:41:00.020 consensual

01:41:00.500 relationship

01:41:01.020 or not?

01:41:02.440 It wasn't

01:41:02.900 with her.

01:41:03.420 It wasn't

01:41:03.680 with the

01:41:03.940 person that

01:41:04.300 was complaining.

01:41:04.980 It was

01:41:05.140 someone

01:41:05.400 else.

01:41:06.300 The

01:41:06.500 complainant

01:41:06.940 was saying

01:41:07.260 that she

01:41:07.600 had to

01:41:08.780 cover for

01:41:10.740 him as

01:41:12.120 part of

01:41:12.520 the hostile

01:41:13.160 work environment.

01:41:13.900 So the

01:41:14.620 person he

01:41:15.000 was having

01:41:15.360 an affair

01:41:15.740 with wasn't

01:41:16.400 the

01:41:16.560 complainant?

01:41:17.020 No.

01:41:18.920 And yeah,

01:41:19.720 the university

01:41:20.320 looked into

01:41:21.460 it and they

01:41:21.920 said, we

01:41:23.380 checked it

01:41:24.060 all out and

01:41:24.560 we really

01:41:24.980 couldn't find

01:41:25.480 anything.

01:41:26.180 So we

01:41:26.460 fired him

01:41:26.840 anyway.

01:41:29.060 Okay,

01:41:29.940 what?

01:41:31.520 So they

01:41:32.200 looked into

01:41:32.700 it.

01:41:32.880 They couldn't

01:41:33.260 find any

01:41:33.880 evidence of

01:41:34.500 sexual

01:41:34.840 harassment.

01:41:35.440 It was

01:41:35.480 weird.

01:41:36.220 So why

01:41:36.520 did they

01:41:36.800 fire the

01:41:37.260 guy?

01:41:38.300 I mean,

01:41:39.140 look, the

01:41:40.340 guy is kind

01:41:41.040 of a, you

01:41:41.680 know.

01:41:42.240 Did they go

01:41:42.640 to football

01:41:43.060 reasons then?

01:41:44.520 I mean, are

01:41:45.620 they just not

01:41:46.080 happy with the

01:41:46.580 program?

01:41:47.700 Was he going

01:41:48.300 to get fired

01:41:48.760 anyway?

01:41:49.980 Yeah, it's

01:41:50.440 possible.

01:41:51.100 The program

01:41:51.780 had slipped a

01:41:52.720 couple, you

01:41:53.120 know, a couple

01:41:53.920 notches, although

01:41:54.760 it appeared when he

01:41:55.900 showed up it was

01:41:56.680 looking good, but

01:41:57.440 then he had some

01:41:58.080 injuries.

01:41:59.040 So, you know, you

01:41:59.760 use that as an

01:42:00.460 excuse for a

01:42:01.200 couple years.

01:42:01.720 So, and they

01:42:02.600 just lost the big,

01:42:03.500 they lost another

01:42:04.020 bowl game.

01:42:05.060 It's coming off a

01:42:05.880 big loss.

01:42:07.000 So, you know, it's

01:42:07.800 possible that it was

01:42:08.720 time to let him

01:42:09.480 out.

01:42:09.740 Now, look, before

01:42:10.660 you shed too many

01:42:11.600 tears for

01:42:12.820 Rodriguez, for

01:42:14.560 sure he's walking

01:42:15.580 away with six

01:42:16.700 million.

01:42:17.360 Oh, wow.

01:42:18.380 As his buyout.

01:42:19.560 That's a nice way to

01:42:20.160 walk away.

01:42:20.700 And then there was

01:42:21.340 another, there was

01:42:22.300 another part of his

01:42:23.960 contract that was, I

01:42:25.680 wasn't sure.

01:42:26.360 I got to figure out

01:42:28.140 what that is so I

01:42:28.880 can put it in a

01:42:29.920 contract if I ever

01:42:30.920 get a contract.

01:42:35.280 It was some deal

01:42:38.260 that he had with the

01:42:39.460 university that was

01:42:40.540 going to be worth a

01:42:42.460 little over three

01:42:43.200 million if he had

01:42:44.740 kept his job until

01:42:46.560 March.

01:42:47.660 And since they got

01:42:49.000 rid of him before

01:42:49.880 March 15th or

01:42:51.420 something like that,

01:42:52.180 mid-March, it's only

01:42:53.360 worth 25% of the

01:42:55.380 three million.

01:42:56.360 A little 3.5

01:42:57.700 million.

01:42:58.440 Oh, okay.

01:42:59.020 So he gets a little

01:42:59.700 bit of that too.

01:43:01.220 So he'll be okay.

01:43:02.620 So he'll be about 6

01:43:03.300 million, $500,000.

01:43:05.220 You know, 7 million

01:43:06.040 maybe somewhere in

01:43:06.960 there, you know.

01:43:07.700 So he'll, you know,

01:43:08.640 he might be able to

01:43:09.640 survive a week, you

01:43:11.100 know, get by.

01:43:12.080 I don't know.

01:43:13.460 We got to get in

01:43:14.100 touch with these

01:43:14.540 college coaches and

01:43:15.540 find out how they

01:43:16.780 have such great

01:43:18.540 parting deals.

01:45:54.420 I don't want to get

01:45:55.920 through today without

01:45:56.900 mentioning the horror

01:45:58.460 that's taking place in

01:45:59.740 Oregon for some

01:46:01.300 residents in the great

01:46:02.580 state of Oregon.

01:46:03.500 Oh, no.

01:46:03.880 What's happening there?

01:46:04.560 The new law took

01:46:04.720 effect this week.

01:46:06.920 Yeah.

01:46:07.420 That means that if you

01:46:08.780 live in a county with

01:46:09.780 less than 40,000

01:46:10.920 residents, you now

01:46:12.480 pump your own gas.

01:46:14.420 Oh, my gosh.

01:46:15.400 How can anybody be

01:46:16.320 expected?

01:46:16.820 I don't know how that

01:46:16.840 state could be alive.

01:46:17.920 How can anyone be

01:46:19.000 expected to pump their

01:46:20.220 own gas?

01:46:20.880 It's horrific.

01:46:22.020 Horrific.

01:46:22.380 I don't know how

01:46:22.740 they're going to

01:46:23.080 survive.

01:46:23.700 What if they're smoking

01:46:25.300 a cigarette and they

01:46:26.600 drop it down the gas

01:46:28.100 tank while they're

01:46:28.800 pumping?

01:46:29.220 I mean, there were

01:46:29.960 some people commenting

01:46:30.900 from the news story

01:46:32.360 that talked about, I

01:46:33.220 don't even know how to

01:46:33.960 pump gas.

01:46:35.140 I'm 62.

01:46:36.380 And they're serious?

01:46:37.660 No, thanks.

01:46:38.280 I don't want to smell

01:46:40.300 like gasoline.

01:46:42.260 So, in Oregon, like

01:46:44.320 New Jersey, they always

01:46:45.660 have an attendant to

01:46:46.500 it?

01:46:46.620 Yeah.

01:46:48.000 There's, what, two

01:46:48.700 places in the world

01:46:49.620 left like that?

01:46:50.600 You get pretty used to

01:46:51.500 it, though.

01:46:52.140 You know, I used to get

01:46:54.060 gas in New Jersey when

01:46:54.980 I was there, and you

01:46:55.420 get pretty used to it.

01:46:57.100 That used to it, where

01:46:58.140 you don't even know how

01:46:58.900 to do it?

01:46:59.700 No, no, no.

01:47:00.180 Come on now.

01:47:00.940 Let's suck it up in

01:47:01.920 Oregon.

01:47:02.600 It'll be okay.

01:47:03.440 I promise.
